Playing card shuffles (10, 200, 400) having unshuffled stack holders (14, 21 5) 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) a re ejected and discharged from the infeed array (15, 235) at various random dis charge positions. The ejectors can be mounted on a movab le carriage (110). Extractors (130, 260) are advantageously used to assist in r emoving playing cards from the infeed array. Removal res istors (141, 142, 280) are used to provide counteracting forces resisting displacem ent of cards, to thereby provide more selective ejection of cards from the infeed array. One embodiment (400) mounts over the edge of a card t able.
