criteria that impact the credibility and integrity of Card Shufflers and Dealer Shoes from 
both the revenue collection and player's play point of view, create a standard that shall 
ensure that the card shufflers and dealer shoes are fair, secure, and able to be audited 
and operated correctly, distinguish between local public policy and laboratory criteria, 
recognize that non -gaming testing (such as electrical testing) should not be incor porated 
into this standard but left to appropriate test laboratories that specialize in that type of 
testing, construct a standard that can be easily changed or modified to allow for new 
technology and construct a standard that does not specify any particu lar method or 
algorithm. The intent is to allow a wide range of methods to be used to conform to the G/TBT/N/UGA/1729
