Deal a Winning Hand with New Poker Product

Shuffle Up has launched a product which it claims could change the way poker games are played and eliminate the need for a human card dealer.

Developed in Silicon Valley by Binh Quach, a technology-savvy poker enthusiast, the product eliminates the need for a dealer. Each of the 52 cards found in an old-fashioned deck is printed in colour on a plastic tablet with a sliding shield covering each face. The holder can open and close the shield, protecting his or her hand from the eyes of other players.

To play a game with Shuffle Up, the shielded cards are placed in a bowl and mixed by hand in a way similar to dominoes. As the game begins, each player takes out the prescribed number of cards, according to the game they�re playing.
