This is for the honest poker players. It is in my opinion that there is a scandal in Niagara’s Poker Room.
I have brought it to the attention of the management on numerous occasions (going back at least 8 months) that there have been plenty of suspicions hands on a frequent basis. This has been observed for about 18 months.
There is a simple solution which can be implemented that many players and dealers agree on. That would be to Riffle the deck when it comes out of the machine before the cut. No one would take issue to that unless it’s going to have an impact on their bottom line.
Staff is very well aware that cheating exists in their casino.
The mere fact that management refuses to address this extremely serious issue, leads many of us to believe that someone working in the casino has developed a system to exploit the shufflers vulnerabilities.
It has been done at other card houses and casinos.
I will never play poker at this casino again and will use every legal means necessary to expose this issue.
Keep in mind that it’s been known for at least 3 years that these shufflers are easily manipulated. Also there is no way for the honest casino employees to tell if the shufflers have been compromised. Which is another very troublesome fact.
Below is a link to a thorough 69 page study conducted by researchers who successfully hacked the deck mate 2 shuffling machine to gain complete control over the shuffler.

Or google deck mate 2 cheating and you can find the link on Redditt
Security researchers which hacked deck mate 2 card shuffler now published 69 page white paper with details.
I hope that Casino Niagara takes this issue seriously and doesn’t have Poker Atlas delete this post as every poker player deserves to know the truth.
I don’t think all management is bad, however one bad apple can spoil the bunch.
Cheers
