Abstract
Automatic card shufflers include a card input mechanism for inputting cards into the card shuffler, a card storage device for receiving cards from the card input mechanism and temporarily storing cards within the card shuffler, and a card output mechanism for outputting shuffled cards from the card shuffler. The card storage device may include a movable rack configured to move vertically within the card shuffler. The movable rack may have a plurality of card storage compaitments therein, each of which may be sized and configured to hold two cards therein. The card output mechanism includes a movable ejector configured to simultaneously eject cards out from two or more card storage compaitments of the movable rack. Related methods include methods of fabricating such card shufflers, and methods of using such card shufflers.

Abstract
A playing card handling device comprising a card storing area that supports a stack of playing cards, the storing area having a playing card support surface, including a card removing system that removes playing cards individually from the bottom of the stack. A pivoting arm is moved by a motor between at least two positions, wherein in a first position the end of the arm opposite a pivot is disengaged from a playing card at the top of the stack and in a second position the end of the arm is engaged with a playing card at the top of the stack. A processor directs movement of the pivoting arm between its position when a predetermined number of cards is present in the card storing area of the card handling device.
