this is not true, irrc they don't shuffle by mixing the cards around, they shuffle by having rng choose a deck composition and then put the cards into that configuration - this is why they know not only when there's too few or too many cards but they also know which specific cards are missing as well
the reason for this is for things like bridge tournaments where there are times when you want all tables dealing the same exact hands so you can program in master table and then just have the other tables copy it
