Default shuffles in NY

Has the shuffles changed in NY at alot of stores or is it just a chosen few. I went to a local joint the other day and to my surprise they have an long drawn out shuffle that takes forever to complete. I think these places are really misdirected in their attempts to thwart threats that aren't there. Even my wife who is not a player commented that they are just hurting themselves by loss of play time. How come it's apparent to a non player but not to store exces?

Casino execs have to justify their existence. "Look busy." Whoever made the decision to complicate the shuffle surely did so with great fanfare just to promote himself. Same thing happens in a lot of companies, executives creating meaningless reports and procedures to weigh the productive employees down just so they will have something to talk about at the next meeting. I'm not exaggerating.

Have you seen the Borgata's shuffle recently?!! Longest shuffle in AC hands down.

Really?? What a shame. Where would you say they have the shortest shuffle in AC?

Not many can beat a shuffle. But those who can, can beat them very badly.

If these jerks are trying to thwart shuffle trackers it's futile.

I dont think the shuffle at Borg is to bad. It's not worse than a hand shuffle at any harrahs/caesars property hands down (no pun intended).

Oh, it's ridiculous. I'd bet there's maybe 10 people in the country with the bankroll and skills to be a serious threat to even a relatively simple one pass shuffle.

Oh, so some counter came in and tracked your cutoff and got an extra .5%? Oh damn!
