A friend of mine returned from Vegas last week. She told me she was at the Flamingo checking out the MindPlay tables and saw the dealers burning 6 cards at the start of a new shoe. When asked, the dealer wouldn't say anything. She called over the pit critter who told her they had to do that because "the computer won't function" otherwise.

First we had the "Harrahs cut", now we've got the "Flamingo 6 card burn".
