There is a place by me (upper midwest) that hand shuffles and will tolerate a decent spread. Since it's a public forum I can't tell you anything exact because I don't want a bunch of vultures descending out of nowhere and ruining a good thing. I just wanted to confirm that hand shuffles are around and not just Vegas.
Only a Sith speaks in absolutes. LOL, calm down. It doesn’t HAVE to be one of these. The point of my somewhat rhetorical question was that if a shuffle is NOT trackable, then is it a good thing? But, I suppose I shouldn’t have asked the question, since it could only be answered by giving more details. I’ll own that. To the prior poster, yes, I have a lot to learn. I will humbly let you know once I’ve learned it all.
Yes, but you'll have to scout.
A number of years ago, I was the BP for probably the world's best shuffle tracker at a high end place in Vegas. We played for 3 hours before backoff. They subsequently changed their shuffle because of our play.

What I tried to say is this. Even for the same kind of hand shuffle in the same casino, different dealers may have different ways of plugging the unplayed cards (behind the cut card) into the played deck. This random part makes it harder to do shuffle tracking. When the dealer is machinery, I had a lot of success, but when sloppy, I often had bad luck.
