The stats haven’t been recorded, but the robot has a debugger mode that generates long tables of recognitions.
recognition is very good though, I would expect 1 card out of every 2 decks to be read wrong, but Jak is currently getting some modifications done to it to increase recognition rates.

Are there any statistics yet how good the robot performs in black jack?

Maybe have a slot where people have to put the chips before they can play?

if this actually existed then how would the robot claim the money after defeating the player?
