Its my understanding that the shuffle is configurable.  I actually 
think this was a mistake on ShuffleMaster's part, since casinos have an 
obvious incentive to configure them for a really fast shuffle, and this 
could negatively affect the reputation of the machines as shuffling 
"right."  In fact they're doing what they're told (which in many cases 
is to shuffle fast, not well).  But the revenue incentive is obvious.
