It is my understanding that they do provide an honest random shuffle. If you are using basic strategy, then the shufflers actually lower the house edge slightly, due to the omission of the cut card effect.
What is your opinion of the continuous shuffle machines now being used at the blackjack tables in Las Vegas? Do these machines give the house more of and edge even when a person is using basic strategy?įor those who don't understand what you're asking, there are new machines that take the blackjack discards and place them randomly back in the deck after each hand. The advantage is more hands played in a shorter period of time, but the in game advantage actually goes up for the player. I thought I post this from the Wizard of Odds website because I always had questions about the auto shuffler.
