A card shuffling machine (10) includes a turntable (14) in which a
plurality of cards (26) rest in respective trays (24). When the turntable
(14) is spun, a tongue-like detent (30) resiliently strikes a circular
arrangement of peg-like dividers (28) which progressively slows the
turntable (14) to a stopped condition. A pointing device singulates one
of the cards (26) which can be lifted from its tray (24) and the indicia
thereon announced as a game decision. The indicia on the singulated card
(26) can be scanned with a machine-readable code and processed through a
digital processor (38) to resolve a variety of games played through
respective computerized consoles (44).
