Shufflers On? Shufflers Off?

The poker tables here at the Rio have automatic card shufflers built into them, which helps to speed up the pace of play thanks to the machine shuffling a deck of cards while another is in use. Over the last five minutes we have heard the floor staff instruct the dealers to stop using the shufflers, to star using the shufflers again, to stop using them and now they are using them once more!

The problem seems to lie with one of the table's power points, which has now been rectified.

"It's not like they cost $20,000 is it," one of the players said sarcastically.

"We better play quick because it's going to burst into flames soon!" joked Matt Stout.

Hopefully, the latter won't happen and it will just be the poker action that is red hot.
