Abstract
An apparatus for dealing cards at a casino gaming table. The apparatus, or dealer shoe, has a base and a card roller. The base holds a deck or decks of cards while in use. The card roller is movably connected to the base and applies a downward pressure on the cards in the base so that they may be removed from the base. The card roller is moved into a resting place within the base when cards are removed to be shuffled, facilitating removal and insertion of the cards. By resting in the base, the card roller is protected from damage.
