An automatic shuffling and dealing machine has a shuffling wheel and a
card-input device mounted adjacent to the shuffling wheel. The card-input
device is provided for putting a stack of playing card and inserting
cards into slots formed around the shuffling wheel. The shuffling wheel
can be controlled by a controller to rotate randomly, and has a
discharging rod to discharge at least one card in the slots of the
shuffling wheel as the shuffling wheel temporarily stop in undetermined
angles, such that the card arrangement may be randomized. Besides, the
automatic shuffling and dealing machine further has a card-output device
or card-output apparatus to deal the discharged cards one by one. With
such an arrangement, the automatic shuffling and dealing machine may
provide convenience for card games.
