In Blackjack card does tends to clump together in a non-random ordering

Mathematically, this is called random.

Well said! Randomness doesn't mean it has to be evenly distributed.

Biggest pretentious, blowhard ass in the industry. Crawls out from under his rock once every five years or so, and then disappears and hides while the market goes up another couple of thousand points or so.

...Just curious, what casino is this in PA that they are not fanning the cards face up?

all of them....but to be clear, it's NOT during change of cards....it's between shoes (when table is empty) to show cards match...never saw a casino fan face up cards that weren't in order

btw, I was sure they'd respond, even if anonymously sent, as that's my experience - even had them make a significant change to their process that benefits AP greatly by sending an anon email.

IF this is so ... reveal the name of the casino OR explain your reason for withholding the name.

I played at Harrah Chester today. I asked about the casino fanning the cards face up before they shuffle when they starting to open up the tables. The pit crew lady responded and said in Blackjack Harrah don't fan the cards face up. However, the cards are premixed when it came from the manufacture. But someone can ask to them to fan the cards face up. But it still at the discretion of the pit crew.

I broke even today at the table but it was a successful trip. I notice one guy they was jump in and out of the tables every other hand. He wong out when the deck was positive and then went to played at the other table. He continue that back and forth until the pit crew said you can't play two tables. Thinking that he can change the odds of the game. He lost all his money.

LOL ! Why am I not in any way surprised that a store

owned by the "Evil Empire" gave you a headache.

In the state of Nevada, the State Gambling Commission

receives more complaints RE: Harrahs Casinos then all

other combined. There are hundreds of "others."

This is one reason why I don't like Harrahs properties. They are famous for being "evil". I like taking their money and hurting them. I don't like it when I lose to them. That is why sometimes when I lose there I don't want to leave and play until I get it back. It result most of the time I break even or ahead. I play all kind of styles there. Wongin/Wongout, White Rabbit, Table Hop, Sit out when the count is negative, do hand interaction with other players, and spreading to two or three hands when count is positive. Sometime the dealer pay me wrong and I don't say anything.

I comp hustle them also sometimes.

Could that have been Mr backcount only, count 2 tables at once. I thought he believed they cheat. Now we know why he gets killed so bad there.
