Deck Mate
Template:Short description Deck Mate was a shuffling machine, designed by SHFL entertainment in 2002, used by casino poker rooms to assist dealers in shuffling.[1][2] The original machine can shuffle a deck in approximately 45 seconds. SHFL entertainment had a virtual monopoly over shuffling machines and generally rented them out to casinos for about $US500 a month.[3][4][5]
In 2013, SHFL entertainment was acquired by Bally Technologies.[6] In August 2014, Bally agreed to be acquired by Scientific Games, now Light & Wonder.[citation needed]
