Abstract
The invention herein describes a card handling device used for automatically shuffling two card decks sequentially for use in a novel casino card game. The device shuffles a first deck and moves it to a first output tray and then shuffles a second deck which is moved to a second output tray. A microcontroller randomly decides which deck is to be moved to which output tray. A moveable hood obscures observation of the two output trays while the shuffling and deck movements are underway. Thereafter, the hood is moved to permit viewing and access of the two play-ready card decks simultaneously. One player is chosen as a game 'HOST' and thereafter chooses which of the two decks to utilize for a subsequent card game whereupon the game “HOST” or other players may become advantaged by certain nonconventional cards.
