Playing card shuffles (10, 200, 400) having unshuffled stack holders (14, 215) which hold infeed arrays (15, 235) of playing cards. Ejectors (101, 240) are mounted adjacent an unshuffled stack holder (14, 215), which cam be stationary or movable. Cards (20, 236) are ejected and discharged from the infeed array (15, 235) at various random discharge positions. The ejectors can be mounted on a movable carriage (110). Extractors (130, 260) are advantageously used to assist in removing playing cards from the infeed array. Removal resistors (141, 142, 280) are used to provide counteracting forces resisting displacement of cards, to thereby provide more selective ejection of cards from the infeed array. One embodiment (400) mounts over the edge of a card table.
