Card craps players: do you ever ask to see all the cards?

At one of the casinos here in Southern California they play "card craps" this way:

There are two automatic shufflers on either side of the dealer. One shuffler is loaded with six "red cards" and the second shuffler is loaded with six "green cards." Each card is numbered Ace through 6 to simulate the six sides of a die.

The shuffled red cards and shuffled green cards are then placed on the table lay-out in positions numbered 1 through 6. If the 5 card happens to be placed in the 5-spot, it's random chance.

A player at the table is given two dice to roll -- one red and one green. The faces on the two dice choose which of the two cards that the dealer will "flip over."

For example, the dice might show 2 and 2, and when the two 2-spots are turned over, they might show a 3 and 5 for an "8."

At this one casino, I noticed that there are two sets of red cards, and two sets of green cards in each automatic shuffler. While one hand is being played, the shuffler is shuffling the cards for the next hand.

And this got me to wonder if players ever ask to check the cards to make sure the sets never get "mixed up"?

Accidents happen. A couple of years ago I was playing in a poker tournament when two players in the same hand turned over the Ace of Hearts. In this case, a new deck was being used and the dealer failed to notice that an Ace of Hearts was in the place of the Ace of Diamonds.

Can you ask the dealers to check the cards? I think asking after every hand would be a problem. But perhaps once a half hour or once an hour just to keep the game "safe"?

I play this game regularly but have never asked. I tend not to worry too much about these sorts of things. Besides, if there was some sort of problem there is a damn good chance the casino would 'make it up to me' but declaring all bets winners or at least not taking losers.

There is another card version of a casino classic in the Native American casinos in California called "mystery card roulette." In this game, the wheel does not have numbers it, and instead has slots in which a card is hidden. The wheel spins and finally stops at a position, and the card in that position is revealed.

Has anyone ever verified that there is one card for each spot on the traditional roulette layout?

Is there a time when all of the cards are openly displayed and then loaded into the wheel? Is this done once a day, once a shift or only when the game was set up?

I ask to check the cards when the table is really cold. In fact, I have seen the dealers check all the cards on their own when short rolls continue to occur. One time, at Rincon, I witnessed 7 consecutive PSO...pretty chilly that day.
