ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for shuffling playing cards. The device s two shuffling card compartments which can each be placed in a first position and in a second position, and a delivery compartment; gripping rollers carry the playing cards from the shuffling compartment located in the first position to the shuffling compartment located in the second position. Gripping rollers also carry the playing cards from the card compartment located in the first position to the delivery compartment. A microprocessor activates the gripping rollers as determined by an algorithm. Motor driven discs feed the playing cards for shuffling to one of the shuffling compartments. The shuffling operations to be performed by the dealer are time-consuming, which is all the more important as the game has to be stopped during shuffling, so that a relatively large part of the available playing time at a gaming table has to be spent on shuffling, which of course has an adverse affect on the obtainable turnover at the table. In preference the shuffling device comprises a plateau where both shuffling compartments are mounted on. The plateau is rotatable on a vertical shaft for exchanging the position of both shuffling compartments.
