i constantly hear cash game players complaining if there is no auto shuffler in the table. obviously its there in cash games to speed up the game and to get more hands in per hour and more rake.

but why wouldnt the same be true of tournament play? do the tournament directors want to slow down the hands per hour in order to make the blinds change seem quicker than it actually is? but the main reason i would think is to prevent a mechanic dealer. i guarantee that out of the hundered of dealers at the WSOP, atleast one is fiddling with the cards, and it probably is more.
