If that's true, that's very serious cheating.

According to their site:

Quote:
Once you've held the cards you wish to, click 'Deal' again and new cards will be dealt to replace those not held.
For their paytable, 800/40/20/9/6/4/3/2/1, the payout should be 98.25%.

For that same paytable with recycled cards, the payout is 95.26% playing correct recycled card strategy. However, because they claim that they are not recycling cards, players would not play this strategy: they would play regular Jacks or Better strategy, and so would get an even lower return.

So the net casino house advantage is likely to be >5%. At that hold, they are making more profit than on slots, and without even telling the player their scam.
