The mother of all questions is this.

Lets take the blackjack game at 5dimes for example...a) is the singldeck table there on a continuous shuffle?

Meaning Lets say I log into the server at exactly 4 pm my time and get a blackjack. If I were to log in at 6 pm would I be dealt the same hands or would it be different?

If the same cards were scheduled to come out, then it is impossible to beat the online casinos long run.

If the cards you get dealt in fact depend on what time you log into the server, then it is possible to win.

There is no way to know.

So what are the thoughts on this? b) Are the cards on a scheduled rotation or are they dependent on our timing?
a) Cards are 'shuffled' after every hand.
b) There is not a 'schedule'. RNGs are based on algorithms and you/we would need to deconstruct/decrypt that in order to predict/know what cards are going to be dealt.
