Corrected entry: The replaced shuffling machines were rigged, but they had no way to trigger them at the precise time the greco went down.

Correction: The shufflers were triggered by the ultrasonic pulse triggers Danny's crew were carrying (i.e. those lighter-looking things they used to manipulate the dice, roulette balls, and shufflers).
I'm not sure this is accurate. The lighters are shown to manipulate the dice only. There is no indication that they trigger any of the other rigged pieces like the balls. We only see Danny and Rusty with the lighters, who are at the craps table. However, to still correct the entry: the rigged card shufflers I believe were on the whole time. The Greco was designed to see if people were cheating, not the machines. Danny and company just needed to make sure any rigging/cheating they did was while the Greco was down, and they remained at the craps table. As long as they didn't cheat at blackjack while the Greco was operational, then the rigged shuffling machines could have just stayed on. It is actually in their best interest for the rigged shufflers to remain active, so that the casino would continue to lose money to guests who would just think that they are on a good streak.
