CONTINUOUS CARD SHUFFLER

In the game of Blackjack, the term "continuous card shuffler" means a version of an automatic card shuffler that that the dealer feeds used cards at the end of each hand and therefore is continually shuffling the deck.

In our own mathematical analysis, such continuous card shufflers do not hurt the basic odds - at least no more than a 6 or 8 deck blackjack game.  However, the real purpose of continuous card shufflers is to stop card counters.  Since the cards are continuously shuffled, there is really not much gain to counting the cards played - since they are back in the deck again for the next hand.

Many of the newer casinos - at least in Southern California seem to be using continuous card shufflers.  The purpose is to stop card counting.  Las Vegas has also seen many of their normal blackjack tables modified to use continuous card shufflers also.
