Abstract:
Card handling devices may include a card shuffling apparatus and a card output portion having a card buffer area positioned at an interface of the card shuffling apparatus and the card output portion. The card output portion may be configured to move relative to the card shuffling apparatus and alter the orientation of the card buffer area. Card handling devices having a substantially flat card output area may include an interface portion having an at least substantially flat draw surface. The substantially flat card output area may permit playing cards to be drawn from an outlet of the substantially flat card output area in a plurality of at least substantially horizontal directions. Methods of shuffling playing cards may include altering an orientation of a card buffer area and inserting cards into the card buffer area at both a top and a bottom of a group of cards within the card buffer area.

Claim (Index 8):
A card handling device, comprising:\n a card shuffling apparatus for shuffling playing cards; a card output area; and a card output portion for receiving playing cards from the card shuffling apparatus and delivering playing cards to the card output area, the card output portion comprising:\n a card buffer area positioned within the card handling device at an interface of the card shuffling apparatus and the card output portion, wherein the card buffer area is configured to temporarily hold a group of playing cards; and \n a card feed system configured to remove playing cards one-at-a-time from the card buffer area and to deliver the playing cards one-at-a-time to the card output area, wherein the card feed system is configured to not send a playing card to the card output area until a previously sent playing card is drawn from the card output area.
