5. Pre-shuffled cards? How absurd. But who's the say they *weren't* shuffled? . . .

And the pattern came up as if it were an unshuffled deck?

No one checked. In a legitimate game, no one would be allowed to see the order of cards. The legitimacy of the shuffle would have been witnessed by everyone at the table. If the casino is so heavily invested in laziness as to refuse to shuffle their own cards, they should have to deal with the consequences, come what may.
