KPAW Automatic Card Shuffler and Dealer - 1-2 Decks Support 12 Players

Initially just wanted to find an electronic card shuffler, and came across this unit. The card shuffling works as expected, although with dark-backed cards (like Dos cards) it sometimes stops a little early, requiring you to hit the shuffle button again. But you can get battery powered or hand crank shufflers for $20, so thats not really the killer feature. The killer feature is the dispensing, and the buttons to dispense. Getting games added, even those with custom rules, isn't terribly complex, after you've done it once or twice, you can do it from memory. Preloaded games include common playing card games and Uno, which is good for our use cases, as we're using Uno to teach our kids numbers and colors. For example, playing Dos requires the game to dispense 7 cards per player, and then two discards. Getting this set up is trivial, and works every time. The remotes are neat, although it would have been nice to have them paired to the device at the factory. I purchased some additional remotes to enable more players, and once they're paired they stay paired fairly well. Having the device spin towards you and spit out a card is pretty cool the first and hundredth time it happens. Battery life is impressive, with the unit hitting half power charge remaining after many hours of gaming. It charges using USB-C, so you probably already have chargers on hand, and can hit a full charge in a couple of hours.

This KPAW combo shuffler/dealer works! I decided on KPAW because of having good experience with their shuffler. Their shuffler is good, but for card games I also wanted an auto dealer. It is not much bigger than their shuffler and is portable. My advice is purchase extra remotes if you have more than four players as only four remotes are included. I suggest paying attention to how it directionally deals will improve your game setup. Sit your players first so they are equal distance from each other in a circle, then with the KPAW in the center of that circle, deal one card to each. Note where each go and move/turn the device so it aligns with the players. Remotes don’t control where cards go, but correspond to player position number in clockwise manner. Some remotes were harder to twist to their desired number, but you only need to pair each to a different number once. Hand out the remotes clockwise in numerical order. Many games are already pre-programmed which help with setup of your favorites. So it’s fun to use and good for gameplay. But, is it worth the money? For card-game players who appreciate an automatic card shuffler, the answer is Yes!

Great gift for older card players that can’t shuffle and don’t like to deal. Was a gift for our 80 yr old parents who love to play cards.

Very easy to use.

This gizmo is awesome with a couple of caveats. First off it works really well with no jams, misdeals, etc. This is saying something as we loaded it with a double deck of cards that we had used for years. It handled them with ease. The capabilities seem "endless". Built-in deal setups cover the usual and the custom can handle any other game you have in mind. Two quirky things: you should really plan to shuffle a little by hand. It seems the system works so well that it literally takes one card from each side in sequence. For a good shuffle you either need to feed the card through a few times (splitting the deck in between) or give a quick hand shuffled or two. The "random dealing" helps on the initial shuffle/deal but if you play a game where the cards get recycled (like UNO or SkipBo) you need to plan on a little manual shuffling. Second caveat regard the "pucks" used to request cards. We still haven't figured out the logic BUT when you shuffle cards the order of the pucks rotates. If player #1 (puck #1) is able to get cards correctly but then a shuffle is done in the middle of the game pressing puck #1 might deal to player #3. Hope that makes sense. Otherwise this thing is a gem! We've had it a while now and it still is entertaining and useful.

Great shuffle. Fast and is so cool to watch it deal the cards

Works great and will save your hands. Price is high but much better than the cheap ones.

Great product!

On fait beaucoup de jeux de cartes dans ma famille et j'hésitais depuis longtemps. J'ai vu les supers avis de celle-ci et quelqu'un me l'avait conseillé. Reçue ce jour. La notice (en anglais) paraît compliquée mais je me suis lancée sur la machine et elle est facile à prendre en main. Finalement, la description laissait penser que le jeu 5 rois était pré-programmé mais non. Pas grave, ça va très vite de régler une carte de plus à chaque tour. Il faut que les cartes ne soient pas abimées sinon, elle prend plusieurs cartes d'un coup mais ça me paraît logique. Il y a plein de réglages qui permettent de faire plein de jeux (distribuer les cartes 2 par 2 par exemple). Et les télécommandes sont top pour les pénalités du Uno ou lacpioche du Rami... Je mets une vidéo de mes 1ers tests.

Super Investition, wenn auch etwas teuer. Vorallem gut zum Kartenmischen. Will bei uns keiner machen. Die Ausgabefunktion lässt noch was zu wünschen über, da die Karten nicht immer da landen wo sie sollen.

Honestly such a great machine. Works really well and is such a cook device to have. We use it for uno

Der Kartenmischer übertrifft alle Erwartungen. Es macht sehr viel Freude und Spaß, da man nicht mehr selbst mischen muss und auch nicht mehr austeilen. Einziges Manko an dem Gerät ist, dass man die Karten nicht so ohne Weiteres aus dem Kartenmischer bekommt. Man muss schon ein bisschen fummeln. Aber alles in allem würde ich trotzdem fünf Sterne geben.

Conforme aux attentes Top
