Blackjack Card Counting And The Cut

Dear Mark,
Can a casino shuffle-up early, even on a multi-deck game, before the
cut card appears? Are they trying to stop card counters? I’ve had this
done to me on different occasions and was wondering if it is legal. Pat
P.

Ordinarily a dealer inserts the cut card anywhere from the halfway
point to 75% from the top of the deck(s). Because counters gain their advantage the deeper they can penetrate into the deck(s), casinos will thwart a counter’s profit potential by inserting the cut card closer to the front.

Since counter profits dwindle when the cut card is inserted closer to
the front, which by the way is legal, consistent winning for the card
counter becomes much more difficult since counters can capitalize on
higher plus and minus counts when they were allowed to access the deck
deeper.

Casinos everywhere may also legally shuffle the deck(s) before the cut
or burn card presents itself. If management suspects a player of card
counting, they may “shuffle-up” on him without warning, even after just
a few rounds have been dealt on a multi-deck game, or even after the
first round on a single deck.

Premature shuffling destroys the advantageous situation counters
typically enjoy. The successful card counter avoids the early shuffling
countermeasure by camouflaging his play and remaining undetected by pit
personal.
