The CSM continuously shuffles a set of decks, ensuring that every hand is dealt from a randomized set of cards. It helps speed up the game by eliminating the need to reshuffle manually and also prevents card counting by introducing freshly shuffled cards into the shoe after each round. CSMs are typically used in casinos to maintain the flow of the game and increase fairness.
CSM Example
For example, in a game of Baccarat, after each hand is completed, the used cards are immediately placed back into the CSM, which then reshuffles them with the remaining cards, ready for the next hand.
