Recently at two Native American casinos I was having some very successful outcomes within a very short time (within a shoe). After her break, the dealer came back and incorporated riffles into the two deck shuffle that she had previously left out. Perhaps someone noticed her lack of thoroughness (other dealers were using the riffles) and pointed it out to her? If so, is this OK? I guess the Gaming Commission wouldn't care a bit because shuffles are allowed inconsistent between dealers and also the same dealer can be inconsistent?
Later that night, at another Midwest Native American casino, I was doing even better after entering the game mid-shoe, and the dealer starting using riffles for the 6 deck shuffle thereafter, which I believe he was not previously using as I had scouted out the place a month earlier.
Does anyone out there feel that there are some shuffles that are poorer for the player than others? Do you try to avoid certain manual (non-machine) shuffles?
Thank you for any input.
