I was sitting on Seat #1 and saw the screen of ASM, written "Face Recognition: Off".
What does the function do while shuffling???
This is a lousy 8 deck game that I've been playing several months (I use Hi-Opt II + ASC), but I always get the feeling they group small cards and big cards (maybe I'm wrong).
Anyone knows of this "Face Recognition" function?
I once saw them testing a 6 deck ASM with a window. The guy took 3 cards out, lay them on the felt and put the rest of the cards in the ASM. A few seconds later, he was able to read off which cards were missing and flipped over the cards on the table, he was correct. He went around to the next table to do the same.
It could be simply that the ASM was not functioning properly or they were cheating. By turning the "card face recognition" off, they could switch a ten card or two with a low denomination card or two and increase the casino odds. With the "face recognition" on, the ASM would give a red light and stop shuffling if cards were in correct and did not include entire decks. With it off, they could have replaced cards for other cards.
If they are clumping high cards (tens and face cards), we are most likely to push.Originally Posted by Three
But if they are clumping low cards (and us counters have no choice but to mostly stay if the dealer has 2-6), the dealer is most likely to win because he won't bust.

Conspiracy theory cheating is discussed in the casino cheating forum. If you want to view them pay the minimal subscription.
The trouble with a conspiracy is the more people that know about it the more that have to remain silent. People are not good at that at all. The more people involved the less likely the conspiracy will remain secret. All it takes is one disgruntled employee or one do goober whistle blower. This conspiracy is supposed to have gone on for over half a decade and yet not one of the myriad on conspirators from either the manufacturer or hundreds of casinos have come forward. That should tell you something.
This is what I've been saying mostly privately for a while now. You sound like you have real world experience many others do not seem to share. I'll add yet another angle that makes this all so ridiculous: if anyone has ever purchased anything from a sales rep in a professional organization, especially one with a sales engineer and who carries a bag, you'd see just how silly this all is. I don't want to go into much more detail but think big rooms of people hearing pitches over and over, proof of concept pilots, etc etc..
That view is old. If that was the case, why did Volkswagon/audi cheat? Why did Bernie Madoff get away for so long?
In today's surveillance world, the whistleblower pays a heavy heavy price. A major problem in the United States is not there are too many whistleblowers…there are too few. Where were the whistleblowers when the Central Intelligence Agency was operating secret prisons; conducting torture and abuse; and kidnapping individuals off the streets in Europe and the Middle East and turning them over to foreign intelligence agencies that conducted torture and abuse? Where were the whistleblowers when the National Security Agency violated the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution against “unreasonable searches and seizures” and conducted widespread warrantless eavesdropping? Where were the whistleblowers when the State Department permitted the use of a consulate to serve as a cover for an inadequately protected intelligence platform in Benghazi? Where were the whistleblowers when the Pentagon was building secret facilities in North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula in order to conduct military strikes in countries where the United States was not at war?
