also, they would probably need a bunch of back-ups, but would really only need the big quantity for the 3 days.

guess it would be a mess and also expensive.

they played without them until enough people got knocked out that every table had them. I think they had about 20 tables with shufflers, so they used them for almost the entire tournament.

they did, but not every table had them installed, so they had to wait until about 6-7 tables broke and all the remaining tables had them, then they started using them.

The Bike only use the machines in cash games and not in tournaments. I actually want to see the dealer shuffle. Keep the machines out.
