Yes, the cards come sealed from the manufacturer and may not be opened
or inspected by the casino management except for signs of tampering.
The dealer must do a strip or riffle shuffle only if requested by a
player. N.J.A.C. 13:69E-1.18A.

I once played for hours on a double-attack blackjack game where the
10-pip cards had not been removed, which gave the players a big
advantage. I was still there when the floor supervisor realized the
error. In that instance, the winning players were allowed to keep their
winnings and the losing players were reimbursed for their losses.
Demanding that the players point out the casino's error or forfeit their
winnings is unfair and unrealistic.
