1. 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, a vertical support extending from the base assembly and coupled to the automatic card shuffler, an adjustment assembly moveably coupled to the vertical support, and a restraint device coupled to the adjustment assembly, the method comprising:
engaging the restraint device to restrict the adjustment assembly from moving relative to the vertical support, wherein the automatic card shuffler coupled to the vertical support is configured to move along a vertical axis in response to relative movement between the adjustment assembly and the vertical support;
engaging wheels of the base assembly with the ground surface to move the shuffler transport device and 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;
in response to moving towards the installation point, disengaging the restraint device to enable relative movement of the adjustment assembly and the vertical support;
adjusting, via relative movement of the adjustment assembly and the vertical support, a height of the automatic card shuffler along the 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; and
in response to engaging the installation surface with the automatic card shuffler, securing the height of the automatic card shuffler at the installation surface by restricting the movement of the adjustment assembly relative to the vertical support to install the automatic card shuffler at the installation point for play of a card-based game at the gaming table.
