Abstract

See full text

An automatic card handling apparatus for use in casino card games possesses a card deck intake portal and a card deck discharge portal which are both accessible by a dealer. The apparatus allows two fully-shuffled, but separated, card decks to be ready for play simultaneously. A first shuffled card deck is independently supported in the card deck discharge portal by a retractable support structure while a second shuffled card deck remains ready for play while independently supported by a slot-less elevator within the footprint of the first shuffled deck. Three separated decks can be automatically routed through the apparatus in order to sustain uninterrupted card play. Also disclosed is a method of randomizing a group of playing cards.
