It's absoultely impossible.
Every time there is an empty seat at a table, the distribution of cards is completely changed. The machine would have to know when a seat will be empty, and how long it will be empty.
Also, there are so many permutations of even a single deck of cards, it would be completely impractical to try to create a "good" deck for a specific seat. (The number of ways to shuffle a single deck of cards is 8 x 10^67, or an 8 followed by 67 zeros.)
Not to mention that the machine would need to be able to recognize every card in the deck and place it into exactly the right spot.
And, as somebody else mentioned, the casinos don't care who wins or loses. On top of that, there are Gaming Commissions in most states that make sure the system is fair for every individual player.
edit: I wish people would read the question before they post a completely irrelevant answer. Mindplay tracks what a player is betting and what cards have already been played. It does not in any way stack the deck beforehand.

No, the machines are not programmed. They are only programmed to make sure that all of the cards are present and being shuffled. If one is missing it gives an error. The gaming commission makes sure there is no cheating on the part of the casino or its patrons.

No, that is just a conspiracy theory. Casinos don't care who wins or loses, only that people play and they hold a house edge. While that happens they will always be winners in the long term.

Sorry to burst your bubble boys but there is a system in use in the USA called the Mindplay system it's one of a few on the market using varying technologies. Check the links below. I do wish people would do a little research before posting cr@p.

NO!, Casinos don't care which player is the winner or which one is the loser, they still have there money from the poker table (fees and rake)

Nope, not at all. The money it would cost for a machine to be that sophisticated would not pay for itself, even over time.
