AMS Machines vs. Hand Shuffles

[Baberuth]

Is there any difference in the mix of cards? Are you likely to get low cards more grouped in hand shuffles? Just wondering if the AMS machines can mix them so it takes away better counts. I understand ploppies not liking them because they can blame a machine that shuffles where no one can see the shuffle. I don't trust anything done out of sight myself.

The ASMs randomize the cards, better than a hand shuffle can. They speed up the game and I like more hands per hour. They remove the opportunity for ST.

Hand shuffle is almost always "better", the quantity of "better" depends on your Skillz Set.

I'd always wondered if there is a way to set the machine much like in Verite blackjack game. For instance, 10 different levels of negative or positive.

No

I've expereinced some wild swings out of a machine.

Depending on the betting ramp used there can be swings in excess of 140 units/hr. Welcome to blackjack.
