But a casino ordering preshuffled cards just makes no sense to me.

8 brand new decks take a long time to open, inspect, wash, and shuffle. The pre-shuffled decks let casinos skip these steps and load the pre-shuffled cards right into the shoe and start dealing. Big baccarat games typically only use the cards once through, so the next shoe would also have to begin with time consuming process of opening new cards, inspection, washing, and shuffling.
The pre-shuffled packs are supposed to be "certified" by the manufacturer to be complete and random. Except these weren't. OOPS!!!
What's funny (as someone mentioned on BJ21), is that the players were smart enough to notice the cards coming out A,2,3,4,5.... and adjusted their bets to take advantage of the situation, while the casino bosses and security were apparently too stupid to figure out what was going on and stop the game. Now they don't want to pay the players for using their brains. Typical.
