Another reason the shuffler is used, is to keep the cards in good condition. When they are manually shuffled, they can get bent or damaged, but when a card shuffle machine is being used, there is basically no way for them to get damaged in the shuffle process.

And lastly, the cards get an even mix which in important for the integrity and honesty of the game.

With all that being said why should you be using a card shuffler?
Well, when you are playing a friendly game of Poker at home, obviously you aren’t looking for speed at your game, like a casino, to make more money. However, it is a real nice feature to have a card shuffler to do the work of shuffling the cards for you. This will give you more time to enjoy your friends company.
