Is this just unlucky coincidence or foul play?

I have just been playing live blackjack at a reputable online casino. And wasn't doing too bad. Then the pitboss comes on the chat and says that the webcam will need to go down for essential maintenance. Fair enough.

Anyway the video went off for a while and came back on some minutes later. And suddenly the dealer kept getting 21's and BJ's. Now I'm not really one to accuse anyone of cheating, but this seemed very fishy to me. I wasn't the only player there to pick up on this, other players were verbalizing concerns there was something dodgy about the whole thing and complained to the pitboss, who just told people to take there concerns to customer support.

I'm not going to accuse anyone of foul play, so I won't mention which casino it is, it is listed on this website as being accredited.

Does this sound strange to anyone else? The video going off for a while and coming back on again and the dealer pretty much constantly getting 21 and BJ.

Or am I and some of the other players being paranoid and we were just unlucky, and it was a normal fair game of blackjack where the cards where simply against us...


I mean is it possible to rig a game of live blackjack? If it is I can't see how it can be done, as one can never know for sure how many players will be in the game...
