The reasons for using automatic card shufflers are simple.

1.	Automatic shufflers ensure that each shuffle is completely random. This makes it impossible for an unscrupulous dealer to use a false shuffle to deliver winning cards to a player with whom he or she is colluding.

2.	Automatic shufflers remove the human element from the shuffling process. They are able to notify the casino if cards are missing or if extra cards have been added, and eliminate unnecessary delays between games.

3.	Automatic shufflers add fairness and security to each game. Batch shufflers eliminate a skilled player’s ability to shuffle track, and continuous models eliminate the ability to count cards.

4.	Specialty shufflers make is possible for casinos to offer games with high odds. Without a shuffler that is able to guarantee that each hand is completely random, most casinos would be reluctant to offer games with larger payouts.
