Came across a casino offering live blackjack with a shuffle policy (as stated in their house rules) as:
“After a shuffle is completed, all decks will be cut and the yellow cut card will be placed at a depth of approximately 75% of the [6 deck] shoe.”
The casino is 5dimes and we added their profile here (http://www.livedealer.org/5dimescasino-review.htm).
Also played a few games to see just how close to 75% insertion they actually get - couple of video recordings at http://www.livedealer.org/blog/2010/11/live-blackjack-card-counting-this-is-interesting/
Insertion looked to be closer to around 2/3's of the way in rather than 3/4's, for the limited number of deals witnessed, but still well and truly in the back half of the shoe. An interesting proposition for card counters I would have thought (not that I'm an expert in that area by any means).
