Is this game beatable?

I found an electronic blackjack game at my local Pennsylvania store. 6D S17 DAS DA2, 7 card Charlie, 3:2 BJ, no re-splits. It has seats for 5 players and it says that the shoe is re-shuffled at 2/3 (66% pen). Keep in mind that for electronic games in PA, one player's actions cannot affect others. So I figure that the dealer's hands are dealt out of a virtual 6 deck shoe and each player's hands are dealt out of separate 6 deck shoes. Or are they all from the same 6 deck shoe?

I watched an electronic 3-card poker game and noticed that the same exact cards could be dealt to different players, but none of the players had the same cards as the dealer (eg. 2 players could both have the 5 of hearts but the dealer couldn't have the 5 of hearts in the same round).

The min is $5. If I spread $5-$100 I could beat it even with the poor pen, if it is dealt the traditional way, and there would be no heat because it's a machine. Plus I could get comps by playing rated.

How would I be able to find out how the machine deals the cards? Since it doesn't deal 100% I can't back-count and verify that the count is 0 at the end of the shoe. I feel like asking the casino manager about it, but that would blow my cover.
 
This game has been discussed extensively....exactly your questions...Should be in the archives. Maybe someone knows where the thread on this is???

Check out that Clark Cant article, where he talks about counting CSM's. That may give you some ideas.
 
I have seen this game. How do you know when the deck gets shuffled? Is it when they change virtual dealers? You don't see a virtual deck being shuffle but you do see different virtual dealers.
 
It used to be playable for cashback but that loophole has been plugged in Pa as far as I know.
