Abstract:
A shuffling system of the present invention includes multiple shuffling devices which are connected in series to one another, and multiple CPUs which are independent from one another, and are connected with the respective multiple shuffling devices, in which each of the multiple CPUs is used to shuffle the cards across the multiple shuffling devices, so that the cards are arranged randomly, and further, even if the information about the shuffle in each shuffling device is stolen due to an unauthorized access to the multiple CPUs, or the like, it becomes difficult to identify shuffled cards to which the stolen information is allocated in all the shuffling devices, and therefore the possibility that the arrangement of the shuffled cards is recognized is reduced.

Claim (Index 1):
A shuffling system comprising:\n a playing card set made up of a predetermined number of decks; multiple shuffling devices which shuffle the playing card set; multiple sequencers or controllers which are independent from one another and control operations of the multiple shuffling devices, respectively; and multiple processors which are independent from one another and control the multiple sequencers or controllers, wherein the multiple processors have one or more random generators which are independent from one another, wherein each of the sequencers or controllers is configured to control the corresponding shuffling device using a set of numerical values output from the corresponding random generator based on a command from the corresponding processor; wherein each of the sequencers or controllers controls the operations of the corresponding shuffling device so that cards of the card set are sorted one by one in a random order using the set of numerical values output from the corresponding random generator; and wherein the shuffling system is configured to shuffle the card set using the multiple shuffling devices so that the cards of the card set are arranged randomly.
