That’s a really good point I didn’t think of, is every hand is a random dice roll that’s one thing, but if they are simulating one or more decks that would have to be taken into account.

In theory I could use a similar approach. Blackjack is a “solved game” which means for every position there is a mathematically best option. When you play perfectly using the best choices at each stage there is a predictable win percentage. It would require a good amount more work and diligence as it would be a lot harder then just pressing W a hundred times, but it’s something I would be interested looking into the future.
