just was thinking about this in regards to blackjack the other day, has anyone ever heard of a case of a casino removing/adding cards from a multideck game. it seems to me as much as casinos seem to want to avoid having good counters beating their games .... it would be hard to detect and ... well anyways just curious if this have ever come up that anyone knows of.

I haven't heard about this, but I do know that some casinos (legally and within the rules, if you read their fine print), have had single and double deck games that were actually six decks shuffled together, and then a single or double deck worth of cards removed from that shuffle to create the illusion of a one or 2 deck game when you're really playing a six deck game with only one or 2 decks worth of penetration.
