Card-shuffler

[spliff]

I need an auto-card shuffler for my homegame with freinds.

This one is 15$ - is it any good (does it destroy cards) make a lot of noise ?

2.) What the hell do you expect for $15?

3.) I do not see why you would NEED a card shuffler for a home game with FRIENDS????

4.) Last but not least: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I didn't expect much for 15$ - actually i am not saying anything about it; but i am asking!??

I just think it is strange that there aren't any product beside this crab and a pro shuffler at several thousands dollars.

I would pay around 100$ for a decent shuffler.

I would like a shuffler when playing with freinds because we could spent more time drinking/smoking; rather than shuffling cards.

A friend of mine bought a card shuffler one day. We used for it two hours and then dumped it for the following reasons:

- noise (nearly as lound as a vacuum cleaner)
- cards got stuck inside the mashine during the shuffling process 2 out of 3 times
- cards flashed during the shuffling process and needed to be put back into the deck manually 2 out of 3 times
- you need to run the deck through the mashine 3-4 times and "box" the deck before every run in order to get good, random results
- shuffling by hand does not take as long and is more thorough
- shuffling by hand is cheaper
- shuffling by hand looks cooler
- shuffling by hand just feels more like good poker

yeah, I'm not big on them. if one of my rich friends was willing, I'd order one of the crappy casino-grade shufflers. The good (read: certified random) casino shufflers are like $4k. uhm, ouch.
