If you are on an Indian reservation or out of the US or if the casino owns the ASM the chances go up.
At a gaming convention a long time ago a cooler order was demonstrated that had the dealer winning every hand. If an unusual play occurred the deck would quickly go back to the cooler order. I didn't think it was possible so I checked it out and it was true. Of course what you are describing seems aimed at counters. Can the casino and its overseers be trusted to deal a fair game?
The most common ASM rigs on 6/8 deck shoes are
1. Tens clumps: Randomly shuffle the cards like it is supposed to. Then add one or two steps to create tens clumps and 7/8/9 clumps. Basically ASM divides the shoe into 8 to 10 piles and move some face cards in each pile to the end of each pile to create 8 to 10 tens clumps. (Even true count is high, you likely get a small card because ten is moved to the back.) The end-result is that face cards are close together and small cards are close together, too. To enhance the result, there could be one additional step to create a few 7/8/9 clumps. So basically the shoe will make face cards much more likely together, 7/8/9 likely together and 2/3/4/5/6 more likely together. When cards come from the tens clump area, players will likely get 20 but dealer, too. So it is a push. In the small card clump area, dealers likely make their hands because of the small cards. In this case, you like to see 6 to 8 tens clumps and one or two 7/8/9 clumps. And players get very few BJ because tens are separate from aces.
2. Treat 8D as four double decks and 6D as three double decks. The ASM sorts the cards to decks. Then shuffle two decks each time. You will see TC hardly fluctuate in hours or never.
