The One2Six OTS and Shuffle Star card shufflers differ significantly in their internal mechanisms, though both serve to shuffle and dispense cards efficiently. Here’s a breakdown:

One2Six OTS (One Touch Shuffler)

• Mechanism:

• Uses a mechanical wheel with slots that grab cards one by one from a stack.

• Each slot can hold a single card, which is then released into the buffer (or dispensing area) when required.

• Cards are “cycled” through the system to maintain a randomized order.

• Primarily designed for fewer decks (up to 6).

• Primary Advantage:

• Simplicity and efficiency for small to medium deck setups.

• Works well for standard table games like blackjack.

Shuffle Star

• Mechanism:

• Operates using a continuous shuffle system, leveraging advanced motorized belts and rollers to handle up to 8 decks at once.

• Cards are fed into a central randomizing chamber, where they are mixed in a non-linear pattern to achieve a higher degree of randomness.

• The shuffle star can keep shuffling unused cards while dispensing others to maintain a continuous shuffle.

• Primary Advantage:

• Handles larger deck setups seamlessly (common for baccarat or high-capacity games).

• Its design reduces card wear and provides a smoother shuffle.

Key Difference in Mechanism:

• OTS: Relies on a slot-wheel system, which is relatively simpler but suited for fewer decks and less intensive shuffle needs.

• Shuffle Star: Utilizes belt-and-roller technology to support higher capacities and more advanced shuffling, offering a continuous shuffle.

Which Is Better?

It depends on the application. If you need a shuffler for up to 6 decks and want simplicity, the OTS works great. For larger games requiring 8 decks and a continuous shuffle, the Shuffle Star is a superior choice.
