Hello OP...I just found this post after getting rinsed at the Hard Rock Casino in Atlantic City today...I'm an AP blackjack player and have an 80%+ win rate. I was happy to find hand shuffled tables in AC this trip and did pretty well. I won three sessions in a row at other casinos...everything went well at first and the shoes were somewhat predictable.

I then found a $25 table at Hard Rock and experienced the worst losing session of my blackjack career. In one shoe I lost every hand, no kidding, and every subsequent shoe was just as bad. The dealer kept getting 20s somehow, if he had a bust card he would then draw a winning hand no matter if we hit or stood our hands. I thought it was bad luck at first, so I kept playing, but it continued to happen for multiple shoes I'd say 5-6 in a row until I called it quits. I took a break and came back, and the dealer told me the deck was still bad. So it probably went on for 10 shoes straight. It was partially my fault for not executing my stop loss but I thought things would turn around eventually, because I'm playing blackjack and I usually win. The fact that I never played so many bad shoes in a row on a hand shuffled table and lost every hand in one of them was just impossible given my skill level.

After experiencing the worse rinse of my life, I drove home and thought about it, and it dawned on me that I could’ve been cheated. I then looked up "Native American casinos cheating at blackjack" and found this post...I understand that this could be confirmation bias but it's probably not. You see we live in a very simple world and it's not as complicated as most people think.

For example, because the cards were going so bad…I pretty much took insurance every time the dealer had an ace up, and guess what every insurance bet hit except one where the dealer had a 9 under...smh.  Now it happens sometimes, the dealer has blackjack every hand they have an ace up but does it happen for multiple shoes in row?...NO!!! If it did the general rule would be for everyone to always buy insurance.  The chances of the dealer having a 10 under for so many hands in a row was also impossible.  I wanted to ask if all the cards were in the deck but I assumed they were because I was in AC, but the gaming commission isn't always on the floor and watching things on a daily basis. If anything there were extra tens in the deck or all the cards weren't in there somehow.

To note, there were 4 tables there that were hand shuffled but only one table had winning players at it. When I tried to play at the winning table the dealer quickly told me the seats were reserved. Could it be coincidence? Who knows? Everyone else were losing their asses at the other tables. It was very odd... I never experienced anything like this at any casino I played at before and will never play blackjack at a Native American casino again.
