The invention herein describes a card handling apparatus used for automatically creating play-ready hands for use in casino poker games whereupon the apparatus may be programmed to accommodate a number of different game variations, and a variable number of players. The apparatus verifies the integrity of each deck before discharging the play-ready hands to a first discharge portal. Decks that do not meet verification criteria are isolated and moved to a second discharge portal. Non-faulty decks are moved to a metering station where they are metered to a card output tray at high speed while forming the play-ready substacks. Two decks may be shuffled, verified and queued within the device before commencing a game, or a second deck may undergo shuffling while play-ready hands from a first deck are being metered to the output tray.

A compact card handling device for use in casinos possesses a card input portal and two playing card discharge portals which are all accessible by a device operator. An optical recognition sensor cooperates with a microcontroller to interrogate the integrity of each card during an ongoing shuffling operation to discover unexpected cards, including unrecognized cards and flipped cards. Expected cards are randomized and accumulated into a stack whereupon those cards are thereafter delivered to a first discharge portal comprising a conventional multi-card shoe. Unexpected cards are immediately discharged to a second portal where they may be visually examined by the device operator while a shuffling operation continues. The input portal and the shoe are clustered conveniently upon the surface of a casino table while the bulk of the machine resides below the table surface.
