Seems pretty complicated. People next to you might notice you inputting something as well.
Seems a lot easier to team with a dealer and get him not to cut the deck at least some of the time. Pretty easy to pretend to cut and put the top side of the cut on top again especially if you don’t do it every hand and say it was an accident I wasn’t thinking if anyone calls you out. Someone in management has to be in on it to give players access to the shufflers anyways. You can also set up bigger coolers this way then with a cut deck.
To expand on this, assuming the deck was being cut by the dealer you would need....
1. Hack the shuffler to know the card order
2. An inside person with that card order who can quickly recreate that deck order with software to fill in cards once the position of one card is known.
3. A way to communicate from the inside person to the player.
This could allow the player to know ONLY the likely turn and river cards after the flop had been dealt (assuming the stub does not run into the cut). This is would be hugely advantageous, but require quite a lot to accomplish. To know other players holdings, the inside guy would have to know how many people were dealt hands so he would also need to be on the floor or have access to a camera.
That is why I said before it would be easier to get a skilled dealer to collude and cheat rather than a guy in a room on property completely undetected with access to a camera, a computer displaying the card order and a device connected to the shuffler to get the card order and be communicating stealthily to players.
