I have a friend who worked this game here, the Aruze Dealer's Angels Blackjack. You can see that the dealer is animated. According to my friend it was a 4-deck game and you could see the shuffle point. The animated dealer would actually shuffle the cards. The shuffle point was reached at the 80th card dealt. That would be 38% penetration. All five stations played from the same deck. So he would sit down on the console playing one machine betting $1. Once the dealer shuffled the cards he would start the count and continuing to bet just $1. Different consoles had different max bets. But for instance, with good counts he would go from betting 1 machine at $1 to betting all 5 machines at $20. I think that is a 1 to 100 betting spread. He said that some consoles had a $100 max bet.
According to my friend he wasn't the only one exploiting these consoles and to stop the AP's from beating them Aruze wound up having to reconfigure the game where the shuffle point couldn't be seen.
Kewlj, you are the blackjack expert here. Do you think this game was exploitable under the conditions I described? I think RS might be a blackjack player too. So what is you guys opinion here?
