Cut N Shuffle technology for online poker

When playing online poker, especially at lower stakes, you often hear people cry out such rubbish as “this poker site’s fixed” or “That always happens at this poker site” when what has really happened is little more than a bad beat, and sometimes the beat is not even that bad. Cut N’ Shuffle technology for online poker could be the answer to stopping the whiners.

The misunderstanding of the massive variance involved in playing poker means that uneducated and inexperienced poker players will always call “cheat” before acknowledging their own bad decision making. However a new and unique online poker system has been developed to remove any doubts about a poker site’s random number generators (RNG’s).

The Cut N’ Shuffle online poker card dealing system replaces the RNG’s used at most of the world’s largest poker sites, like PokerStars and Party Poker and actually physically shuffles and deals cards, while all of the time recording the procedure so all players can verify the fairness of each hand after it has been played. Each individual card is physically dealt by a machine, the machine shuffles the cards and players are even offered to cut the deck as they would be in a live poker event.

However all of this “fairness” takes time and money to operate. Bear in mind that each and every hand of poker is dealt by a real machine so for every game of poker being played online at any one time there would have to be a machine. These machines certainly cost more than a RNG computer program to buy and operate. And even though one small poker site, Real Deal Poker has utilised Cut N’ Shuffle technology it is unlikely to replace RNG’s in the near future, that’s for sure.

The next time you find yourself playing weak poker opponents who do nothing but accuse poker sites of cheating think about how useful the Cut N’ Shuffle system would be then?
