Abstract
A card handling apparatus and method of manufacture and assembly is used for creating pre-formed hands for use in casino poker games whereupon the apparatus may be programmed to accommodate a number of different game variations, and a number of players is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an unshuffled card input portal, a shuffled card discharge portal and a radial card receiver whose operation utilizes centrifugal force. The exploitation of centrifugal force allows the apparatus to be operated without the need for the motorized pusher mechanisms which are prevalent in the prior art, thus creating a shuffler that is more compact and requires less manufacturing cost.
