The UK does things weird.

Here in the real world, we have automatic shufflers, but we use them properly.

We have two shoes of 6-decks. One set is shuffled with a card shuffler while the other is in play.

When the shoe is over, they put the newly shuffled shoe play and put the old shoe into the shuffler.

We use the shufflers strictly so players don't have to wait for the dealers to shuffle the cards by hand.

We use these for all games (blackjack, Pai Gow, Hold'em, etc..).

I think that's where Eejit101 was getting lost...
