> I think the card-holder is called a "shoe" (for some reason)
Duh, my bad. Although anyone know the reason?? > but most online casinos use just one "deck" and can "shuffle" > instantly on each hand, so counting isn't much of an issue Ah yes, I missed that obvious configuration. That's better than an infinite shoe, given you won't end up with weird things like two Jacks of Spades. Although I do believe it might be a "feature" to actually offer a set number of shoes without the shuffle every hand to entice those that think they have some "strategy". But what I'm really interested in is figuring out how to program digital slot machines. Card games are simple. Between reading this PDF (http://gaming.unlv.edu/research/reading/Pacyniak.PDF) and then analyzing some online slot machines (using screen recording software for replay in slow motion to record the "wheel" combinations) I think I've figured it out.
