Shuffle Master Casinos
Shuffle Master was a company specialized in making card shuffling devices, table and casino games, and slot machines. The Nevada-based company was founded in Minneapolis in 1983. It was rebranded in 2012 and became SHFL Entertainment. Bally Technologies acquired the company in 2013.
Shuffle Master was famous for releasing Deck Mate, a card shuffling machine that proved to be groundbreaking in the casino world.

...What should you know about Shuffle Master?
The first slots released by Shuffle Master date back to 2000. The true business focus shifted toward slots in 2006. This is the year when the developer bought a slot producer – Stargames Limited. A former Bally Technologies manager joined Shuffle Master in 2011 and other acquisitions followed. The rebranding to SHFL Entertainment happened in late 2012.
