Claim 13:
14. A method for installing an automatic card shuffler at a gaming table using a shuffler transport device, the shuffler transport device including a base assembly moveable along a ground surface and selectively adjustable between an extended position and a compressed position, a vertical support extending from the base assembly and coupled to the automatic card shuffler, and an adjustment assembly moveably coupled to the vertical support, the method comprising:
moving, via wheels of the base assembly engaging the ground surface and with the base assembly locked in the extended position by a locking mechanism preventing a transition to the compressed position, the automatic card shuffler towards an installation point at the gaming table, the automatic card shuffler extending from the vertical support and cantilevered over the base assembly during the movement towards the installation point;
adjusting, in response to relative movement between the vertical support and the adjustment assembly, a height of the automatic card shuffler along a vertical axis to engage an installation surface of the installation point, the installation surface of the installation point at least partially supporting the automatic card shuffler;
engaging the locking mechanism with a bracket external from the shuffler transport device and associated with the installation point, wherein engaging the locking mechanism unlocks the base assembly to move between positions;
in response to engaging the locking mechanism with the bracket, transitioning the base assembly from the extended position to the compressed position; and
in response to adjusting the height of the automatic card shuffler and transitioning the base assembly to the compressed position, securing the automatic card shuffler at the installation point with the base assembly in the compressed position for play of a card-based game at the gaming table.
