Questions about mid-level games at Borgata

An extra 4c certainly is cheating. Looks like somebody was mucking an extra card in and out. They were holding the extra card that the 4c replaced waiting for the right situation to muck that card in and pull another card out. The shufflers count the number of cards, requiring you to pull out a card when you switch one in. The 4c, innocuous as it appears, was just the first card in the mucking sequence. If the cheat got noticed with the 4c before the mucking started, nobody would think much of it. Also less likely to be noticed as an extra card than a king or other high card would be.
