I don't buy it. Variance in blackjack is to be expected, and most of the reports of it being rigged that I've seen are from people who are just going by gut feel - and gut feel always overestimates the losses.
When I've seen a lot of reports of people who have actually tracked their hands (and played enough myself)... over the long haul it plays to about a 0.5% house edge, like any 6-deck game. The big thing you have to remember is that it's a full reshuffle every hand.
/shrug, YMMV of course, but I just don't think it's rigged. Certainly hasn't been my experience, anyway. Then again, I always play with a bet at 1% of my starting chip stack. Anything higher than that, and you're just asking for the variance to bite you.
