Rigged Card Sorting Machine - ALWAYS Get The Hand You Want!

Raspberry Pi Powered 3D Printed shuffler - reads each playing card and organizes them so when the hands are dealt out, you get exactly what you want. Or if you don't feel like cheating, you can tell it to do a near true random card shuffle. All shuffle commands are sent via a web interface with plenty of knobs to turn for maximum control.

This can also be used to put the cards back into the box in the correct order when you are done playing!

Your YouTube channel is very underrated. Glad I stumbled upon it today!

[cesargonzales]

Great video. Now really convinced me that casinos is stealing my money right my very eyes with the "shuffles".

[yipshank]

It might raise some suspicions when it takes 5 minutes to "shuffle" the deck. Really cool project though.

[gkelly]

The amount of system integration work that you're able to make work reliably is amazing. Amazing work.

[freman]

it's so nice when the youtube algorithm coughs up something I'm interested in watching. Apparently herring bone gears can be quieter.

[JamiePineappleWyatt]

Silicone lubricant man, should help a fair bit with the noise in the gears.

[TiagoTiagoT]

Add a "sort" mode as well, for people that wanna get an organized deck on demand. :)

[JosiahVaughan]

“I’ll see yah in a few more years” 😂😂 gosh I hope not. Amazing video Andrew! This channel is one of my favorites and I can’t wait to see what you do next!

[StephanYazvinski]

Dude you need to keep it up. This was amazing. I just watched the whole thing without blinking.

[scottg]

Well shot, well edited, well narrated, straight to the point with enough information it's interesting but not too much that it gets boring or confusing. Oh, also a great idea that was executed well

Amazing work, instantly subscribed at the end of the video!

Good to see you back. This is honestly a pretty cool and involved project.

[MeriaDuck]

Nice that it can start from an unordered deck with card recognition; quite a project!
In some competitions (bridge, for instance) all tables need to play the exact same hands. They use devices to create a series of identical decks.
But building your own is of couse way more satisfying, and a nice project indeed!

[philliptoone]

Just discovered this channel now through the video. Impressive. Liked and subscribed.

[lynspyre]

Nice to see you back. Hope you are doing well.

[MrFatternscaper]

I love these kinds of projects and videos. Keep it up, subbed!

[euclidallglorytotheloglady]

Brilliant work! Congrats on nailing it!

[DanBowkley]

Evil! Subbed.

Two ideas. First for the feeder, have a look at how printers run their rollers. They almost invariably have three: pick, feed, and separation. On cheaper machines the sep roller is just a pad. Anyways ideally the pick roller (the one that sits on the stack of paper) rotates along with the feed roller, and the sep roller is either stationary or even turning slightly backwards. That's what prevents double feeds. The pick and feed rollers are usually on sprag clutches so they can freewheel. After those three, you'll have two driven pinch rollers that actually deliver the paper.

Second...there should be an even more evil and harder to detect algo in the evil shuffler: make player x really lucky. Don't specify any one hand, just make sure that x always has a better hand than everyone else. Maybe they'd even occasionally lose a hand just so nobody gets suspicious.

Damn, I didn't even realize I was subbed to you, bought a 3up kit wayyyy back when. Cool project!
