A removable card-handling cartridge for retaining a plurality of cards in a side-by-side relationship for use by a card-handling apparatus is described. Included in the removable cartridge, is a plurality of end-coded cards retained by a plurality of coded card-retaining pins, the pins being selectively actuatable for permitting the selection of individual ones of the end-coded retained cards for access to the card-handling apparatus. In addition to the card-retaining pins, an improved gating-rod arrangement for providing auxiliary support of the cards is shown. An improved high-resistance fluid nozzle arrangement is illustrated for keeping the cards separated while in the retained position. The entire removable cartridge is illustrated in a form permitting the removal of the cartridge, together with the cards retained therein, with a minimum amount of disconnection from the card-handling apparatus.
