Patent ID: 7766334

Claim:
A system configured to physically randomize a plurality of physical playing instruments having at least one identifier comprising: a chamber configured to be positioned at an incline such that the chamber has a lower portion and an elevated portion, the chamber having a base and further being configured to receive the plurality of playing instruments with a first side facing down with respect to the chamber base and a second side facing upwards; a vacuum configured to exert a vacuum force upon at least a portion of the chamber such that the first side of at least one playing instrument is pulled against the chamber base; and a motor configured to rotate the chamber such that the first side of the plurality of playing instruments remains substantially downward, and the at least one playing instrument pulled against the chamber base rotates at substantially the same velocity as the chamber until rotating to a location of the chamber that is not substantially proximate to the vacuum force, wherein the first side of the at least one playing instrument ceases to be pulled against the chamber base, wherein the system is configured to randomize the physical playing instruments within the chamber and the randomization is not determined by a random number generator.
