Our shufflers are a joke. Only every now and again do I see a brush spray it out with compressed air. When I first started I'd see a guy do maintenance on them regularly, but maybe that apsect of the lease expired or something. Combine that with cards that are used too long, and miscounts and jamming are expected on every down. Usually one or two machines will be out of commission all night.

Gee, almost sounds like you work for a harrahs joint, where they stamp out efficiency wherever they find it.

Shuffle machines speed up the WORST dealers by a few hands an hour, my estimate in a previous thread was something like a MAXIMUM of 2 or 3 hands/down. Really fast dealers are not helped very much by shufflers. ANY TIME the dealer spends significant time screwing with the shuffler, the machine is not paying for itself, let alone making the house extra $
