Shuffle Master $1300
@justsomedude had posted that there was a guy who fixes these. I poked around and found he was selling this.
Don't know my shufflers that well, this one looks like more of a blackjack shuffler.

The guy who sells/services them is from Florida. I'm pretty sure that's him. Maybe shoot him an eBay message to confirm.

It has the same name, stargamesparts. I just don't remember seeing a shuffler like that. Certainly doesn't look like its for a poker table.

It's the older model. DeckMate2 is the newer version, and what most casinos use. There are probably a lot of casinos that still have rental/service agreements for the original DeckMate.

This is for a MD1. I am not saying you couldn't use it for poker, but it is really old and meant for shuffling entire shoes (blackjacks, baccarat)

 

[dimperdoo]

pretty sure that's a single deck poker shuffler

Holds 6-8 decks - speed up your multi deck table.

If you follow this link (to the same seller) it is only $950.

so, the auction is a deckmate & your link is a MD-1. pix are super crappy there for some reason so hard to be definitive looking at the "MD-1" but, a 21 shuffler has 2 towers: you load the spent shoe into 1 & the other produces the newly shuffled shoe. i'm seeing that there's shufflers i'm not familiar with but the poker shufflers i see have the 1 trap door & work kinda similar to a 21 shuffler but have capacity for 2 single decks (you load the spent deck and pull out the newly shuffled deck) but, anyway ~1 door.

the description in the auction says, "great enhancement to other single-deck, hand-pitched games" & the deckmate 2 pictured above is clearly a poker shuffler

Try clicking the link for Shuffle Master $1300 there in the OP. It leads you to an eBay posting for the MD1

yeah, i see that now. it is a blackjack shuffler ~albeit a super weird one.

OK so, the 1st link is 21 & the last link is poker

It is probably the first ones on the scene in Vegas - I googled this thing and found a UNLV study on their shuffling ability dated 1994

i remember hearing about them in '95 & talk was that they were unreliable. idk, never saw a shuffler for years after that. sure makes dealing pai gow a whole different bag though
