Popular demand? maybe not...

The other nice thing about the shuffle master:
They push the green button. The lid pops open
and the deck rises up out of the hole to about
1? inch above the level of the felt. The dealer
drops the used deck in the right hand (recessed)
side and takes the shuffled deck off the platform
and directly down onto the cut card and deals.
Tough to mishandle the deck exposing cards prior
to the deal.
