Zee, I don’t know how much you know about the Volkswagen situation, but technically they did nothing illegal. Most people are surprised when I tell them that. There has been several articles written on this. First, there is a long history of car manufactures making their engines so they can pass our government’s emission tests. This is nothing new. Why people have a problem with Volkswagen is because they took it a step beyond what is normally considered acceptable. If you spent any time researching this you could see how something like this could happen in a large bureaucratic company like Volkswagen.
The real problem is how our government came up with their emission test. Several experts have commented on this, and I’ve read somewhere our government is looking at changing how this test is done.
What people are claiming here with the ASM is different. They’re claiming the companies making ASMs have made them so they can cheat and casinos are programming them so they can cheat. That’s a ridiculous claim. Trying to draw a parallel to the Volkswagen situation is not an apples to apples comparison.
I never stated that the ASM makers did it with the intent to cheat and neither did I say that all casinos cheat. However, I would not be surprised if some casinos can use the sort function to sort cards the way they want and that they use it occasionally when they suspect someone is an AP at a table or do it at times.
Yes. Penalties are usually per instance. Could you imagine the casino paying $10K per shuffle in penalty? It would automatically be a max fine with no need to compute the penalty. I had a dispute that the gaming commission resolved for me. I got a call weeks later asking about how often the casino violated the law. It was nonstop for over a year. They got the max fine. That surprised me because the frequency of the transgression was about every 50K to 70K rounds. I guess if you have enough games going you go through rounds pretty quick.
If a casino suspected someone of being an AP, why would they result to cheating through programming an ASM? Why not just kick them out them out like they’ve been doing for 50 years? What you’re saying defies common sense.
Why would any casinos spend the time and money to do this? It’d take time, money and could result in jail time. Quite a few people would need to be involved to pull this off. You’d have to have someone who knew how an ASM works, knew programming logic and then understood bj well enough to know how to program the shuffle to get an advantage against an AP. That person/persons would know he’s doing something against the law and be willing to take the risk and go to jail if caught. Common sense tells you this would never happen.
The trouble with conspiracy theories is too many people have to keep their mouths shut for them to be valid. Have any casino staff started dying mysteriously or in high frequency? That is how a conspiracy is kept quiet. If too many people know about it there is always someone that will leak the info. Dead men tell no tales.
