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

157 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?

imagine a shoe with 8 decks where it takes few minutes for a full shuffle, unless some shuffling machine is being used (but those can also have techical issues and seem fishy from a player’s perspective). A game round can take few seconds and delay that lasts for minutes just results in loss. Plus when the shoe is cut in half it makes the counting much more pointless anyway
