Standard Casino Method for Shuffling Poker
There is no universal rule book or dealer procedures used for poker - each casino or poker room uses its own unique blend
of poker rules and shuffling and dealing techniques. Many dealers are taught in-house by whatever casino they happen to work at.
There are certain poker standards such as Robert's Rules of Poker, but there is also a chance that the card room has never
heard of Robert's Rules!
Riffle-strip-riffle-cut
The most common method for shuffling cards between poker hands is the riffle-strip-riffle-cut procedure.
- The dealer collects the cards from the previous hand
- Riffle the deck two or three times (it depends on the casino)
- Strip shuffle the cards
- Riffle the cards once or twice more
- Cut the deck
A dealer will also wash the cards from time to time and will definitely wash the cards for all new decks brought to the table.
