A METHOD FOR HANDLING OF CARDS IN A DEALER SHOE, AND A DEALER SHOE

摘要

An apparatus (15) for dealing cards at a casino gaming table. The apparatus, or dealer shoe, has a base (20) and a card roller (25). The base holds a deck or decks of cards (17) while in use. The card roller is movably connected to the base and applies a downward pressure on the cards in the base so that they may be removed from the base. The card roller is moved into a resting place within the base when cards are removed to be shuffled, facilitating removal and insertion of the cards. By resting in the base, the card roller is protected from damage. The invention also relates to a method for providing access to and removal of cards in a dealer shoe.
