Yes, but there can be a difference of about 6 cards from the front to the back of the slot and with the way a dealer angles the cut card (try it yourself), which can change pen 2%. Hence, my 75% pen report and others reporting 2.5% better.

Hell, at this point, I'm sorry I even bothered to post anything, as every response has been that I'm just plain wrong. Well, too bad. I saw every single table in the place (including those by the baccarat pit), and I reported what I saw. It's changed since 1am Thursday morning, that's all. I'm happy to hear that things have changed (especially that some shoes are being shuffled), and I assume that they were using auto shufflers to accomodate the crowds of people that were pouring in.

Like I said, I had people I was comparing notes with, so it's not as though I'm crazy. So, next time I'll do the easy thing and just wait for everyone else to post reports. That way, I won't be the one who's wrong.
