Deck Mate
Card shuffling machine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deck Mate was a shuffling machine, designed by SHFL entertainment in 2002, used by casino poker rooms to assist dealers in shuffling.[1][2] The original machine can shuffle a deck in approximately 45 seconds. SHFL entertainment had a virtual monopoly over shuffling machines and generally rented them out to casinos for about $US500 a month.[3][4][5]
In 2013, SHFL entertainment was acquired by Bally Technologies.[6] In August 2014, Bally agreed to be acquired by Scientific Games, now Light & Wonder.[citation needed]
Deck Mate 2
In 2012, SHFL entertainment released Deck Mate 2 which can shuffle a deck in 22 seconds and includes card recognition, allows operators to call the "clock", and has a remote touchscreen display.[7][8] The latest card shuffling device from Light & Wonder is the MDX, with the capability to shuffle up to 10 decks simultaneously.[9]
