Can?t access the patent review on my computer. Maybe a special reader will be necessary to accomplish for this. In any case I did some Google research and found this one:

The MD2 Workstation(TM), a stand-alone workstation that conducts speedy back-of-house deck checking and verification. By combining the multi-tasking capability of the MD2 batch shuffler with proprietary software that counts, reads and verifies every card, the MD2 Workstation produces detailed reports that reveal the accuracy and composition of each deck.

A distinct possibility exist, IMO that these manufactures, while advertising an assured increase in randomness to their customers, its product is carrying a couple of added incorporated features too, so as to enhance the ?fairness? of the deal. More weapons to our friends from the other side, I am afraid.

Their advertise for randomness with the sentence you kindly outlined for us above, is a joke of course. In order to establish that any gaming device produces truly random results, you need to be a qualified statistician or an expert in this specific and difficult stuff.

Scholarship definitions for truly testing of randomness can include things like:

1) A 99% of limits in confidence conducted with a standard test for randomness.
2) A 95% confidence level using chi-squared test and serial correlation test, selected at random.

Moral? One thing is the propaganda and another one reality. And this include obviously, that no human dealer will pass the above test, shuffling a multi-deck shoe with any given standard casinos procedures.

So what? Nothing. Or aren?t you cleaning them with the aid of Carlson?s Omega? :-)

My two cents and a pleasure to have you round here, with all of us.
