ABSTRACT:
A card deck shuffling device has a chute for receiving and guiding a deck of cards. The chute has an upper chamber and a lower chamber divided by a gate mechanism. The gate mechanism is moveable between closed, partially open and completely open positions. In the closed position the gate supports all of the cards in the upper chamber and blocks their passage into the lower chamber. In the partially opened position the gate blocks passage of a first portion of the cards while permitting the remainder of the cards to pass into the lower chamber. In the fully opened position the gate allows the first portion of the deck of cards to fall onto the cards in the lower chamber to intermingle with those cards to form a rearranged deck. The lower chamber can contain an agitator for agitating the cards to promote intermingling. The card deck shuffling device has a return mechanism for returning the rearranged deck back to the upper chamber.
