ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for randomly cutting a deck of cards. The apparatus supports the deck of cards in stacked registration and slides the cards in a common direction to offset or "shingle" the cards in the deck. A probe is moved into the offset zone of the shingled deck and is caused to stop at a randomly selected location in the zone. Means is provided for moving the shingled deck relative to the probe to engage the leading edge of the probe with a card to separate the card from a contiguous card and randomly cut the deck into a sub-deck on one side of the probe and a sub-deck on the other side of the probe. The cut is preferably made in the range of cards 20-32 in a 52 card deck.
