Can ASMs be rigged to advantage the house?

[Three]

How could that ever happen?

There exists a known cooler order where every player loses and if an odd play happens the deck quickly goes back to the cooler order in the next round. make a few clumps of low cards to make the count jump every few decks in the shoe and space these clumps out with cards in the cooler order. Within a couple rounds once the cooler order is hit the play given the cards coming out get the dealer to the right spot and everyone loses every hand the rest of the cooler order. Then you hit the next clump of low cards causing the count to rise and within a few rounds of the next cooler order hitting the dealer is in position and everyone loses the rest of the rounds until the next clump of low cards or the shuffle.

Since the machines can sort the cards by rank and suit it can be programmed to sort the cards in any order. The question is would the casino get away with it and if so can you trust them not to do it.
