ABSTRACT:
A card shuffler apparatus is adapted to be placed on a horizontal support surface and is operative to combine a plurality of stacks of unshuffled cards into a single stack of shuffled cards. Each stack of unshuffled cards has at least two cards. The card shuffler apparatus includes a card feeder compartment, a card receiver compartment, a deflector structure and a card ejector mechanism. The card feeder compartment is sized to accommodate the plurality of stacks of unshuffled cards in a juxtaposed relationship. The card receiver compartment is sized to accommodate the single stack of shuffled cards and is disposed below the card feeder compartment. The deflector structure defines a chute which is disposed between and in communication with the card feeder compartment and the card receiver compartment. The card ejector mechanism is associated with the card feeder compartment and is operative to eject at least a single card in each stack of unshuffled cards disposed in the card feeder compartment into the chute. Ejected ones of the cards deflect into and descend in the card receiver compartment to accumulate therein until all cards are ejected from the card feeder compartment thereby forming the single stack of shuffled cards. Also, a method for combining a plurality of stacks of unshuffled cards into a single stack of shuffled cards is described.
