There is no RNG in live play. Hence, the dealer has to scan each card (I'm assuming there's some kind of bar code on each card) so that the software knows what to display on the user's end. Aside from everyone else at the table being 'bots, it'd be nearly impossible to deal out a "cold" shoe.
For the multiplayer non-live games, I would guess that the play before you has no affect on what cards you will get.....interesting question, would love to find out for sure.
edit: Re: The beat:
That's one of the reasons I quit playing live BJ online. I got sick of people not even knowing basic strategy playing, and my losing hands because of it. Sure, you'll win sometimes off their misplays, but that's not the point.
The 2nd (and main reason) I quit playing is because BJ is supposed to be a FAST game. 8 minutes for a hand is unacceptable. It's also rediculous when they take a "time out" in the middle of a hand to chat with the other dealers. I've even seen them holding the card right in front of your hand about ready to turn it over, and they'll turn to chat to another dealer for a minute or so. Totally unprofessional.
edit: If they did that in a B&M, they'd be fired ASAP.
