TL;DR: In this article, a card shuffling machine with a controller that can be operated remote from the shuffling table is described, allowing the dealer to select between various modes of operation, including batch mode, continuous mode and between various games to be played.
Abstract: The present invention features a card shuffling machine having a controller that can be operated remote from the shuffling machine. A remote control unit is provided for remotely communicating operator-selected commands to the shuffling machine. The shuffling machine is capable of shuffling and dealing various games and between different modes of operation, including batch mode and continuous mode. The remote control unit includes a housing, a controller disposed therein, a display in electrical communication with the controller, and at least one user-operated key in electrical communication with the controller for electrically communicating a shuffle command to said shuffling machine allowing the dealer to select between various modes of operation, including batch mode, continuous mode, and between various games to be played.

TL;DR: The pre-shuffler as discussed by the authors consists of a pre shuffler that receives a quantity of cards to be shuffled, such as nine decks of cards, and a motor moves the box containing the cards so that the cards in the first compartment are deposited into an input tray of the main card shuffler.
Abstract: The invention comprises a pre-shuffler that receives a quantity of cards to be shuffled, such as nine decks of cards. One embodiment of the pre-shuffler includes a horizontal moveable box having, for example, nine compartments with vertical walls for separating the cards to be shuffled into groups. Cards are placed into all or some of the compartments in the box, and a shuffling sequence is then commenced. A motor moves the box containing the cards so that the cards in the first compartment are deposited into an input tray of the main card shuffler. The main shuffler then forwards the cards in the input tray one by one, via rollers, to selected card receptacles in the main shuffler. The process is then continued for each group of cards in the pre-shuffler until all cards are in the main shuffler. The main shuffler then shuffles the cards in a normal fashion. The cards output from the main shuffler are in a more random order than had the cards not been pre-shuffled by the pre-shuffler.

TL;DR: In this paper, a remote control unit for remotely communicating at least one operator-selected command to a shuffling machine is presented, which includes a housing, a controller disposed within the housing, display in electrical communication with the controller, and at least a user-operated key in electrical communications with the controllers for electrically communicating a shuffle command to said shuffling machines.
Abstract: A remote control unit for remotely communicating at least one operator-selected command to a shuffling machine. The remote control unit includes a housing, a controller disposed within the housing, a display in electrical communication with the controller, and at least one user-operated key in electrical communication with the controller for electrically communicating a shuffle command to said shuffling machine. The controller includes circuitry that electrically communicates signals to the shuffling machine.
