No need to feel even a little dumb. I'm also at the beginning of the road to the full understanding ??.

The way I see it, only the blank/bling cards are used and the graphic software projects the values in real-time. Those values are randomly generated by the system - like slots spin results are generated by the RNG (random number generator).

I'm sorry, but I had no time to conclude further research on this matter at the moment.

I would be glad to find other players with real experiences on this subject I lost contact with the previous member....

That means the whole shuffling and cutting of the shoes is just for show. The actual human being acting as a dealer is for show.

I guess, You better learn how to count cards if you want to know if you're being cheated or not. You better record the session as well, for proof.
