The cheap shufflers are worthless - The Shufflemaster Shufflers are $11,000 (not a typo). Still hate shuffling? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Use two decks, make the button shuffle while you deal. That way everybody knows the joy!

We do have a two deck rotational shuffling system, but some other much better than others.

Why are the cheap ones worthless, do they just break after a while - or what?

Make sure you try it and you can decide. I was going to buy one of those new metal hand crank ones. I just asked to look at it first and I instantly new I wouldn't be happy.

The plastic ones are even worse. Both seem to be more of a hassle than good ole' fashion shuffling.

My experience is that they are as big a hassle as shuffling and more time consuming.

The two deck system seems to work best for us.

I own one and it was a wste of money. The Store type shullfers are in no way like what you've seen in the casino.

You still have to divide the cards in hald, place each half on opposite sides of the top then press the button. That gives you 1 shuffel. You then must unload the cards and do it all over again for another shuffel.

I tested it, my 7 year old niece beats the machine every time lol.
So... For sale 4 deck shuffler...cheap

I actually picked one up that was marketed by Bicycle for $9 at my local Fred Meyer, which is kind of a Target or Walmart equivalent.

It was horrid (at least for Kem cards) and I returned it, but maybe you want to give it a shot.

I assume you have older people that are shuffling or something to be so shitty at it? If so, just let someone offer to shuffle for them. Most people would rather have someone shuffle for them than look like an incompetant while doing it themselves.
