Eli5: why do casinos not just shuffle the deck after every hand

358 views

Casinos throw people out for counting cards but couldn’t this be made impossible by just shuffling after every hand. I know they make money of people who think they can count but is that the only reason?

Time. Casinos only make money when they are dealing hands. When you are shuffling, the casino is making no money. Casinos already lose millions of dollars to shuffling, they don’t want to lose more.

And card counting is a mostly a thing of the past, the change to 6-5 blackjack completely negates any advantage card counting and more and more casinos are moving to that, and high limit casino that still offer 2-1 are watching for it and making it harder and harder to pull off, and with AI powered facial recognition security systems and live black book access, once you get caught in one place you are going to be insta-banned from every major casino in the country
