Casino industry supplier Shuffle Master Inc. sued a company based in Taiwan on Tuesday, charging the defendant is promoting a card shuffler at a Las Vegas trade show this week that infringes on Shuffle Master's patents.
Las Vegas-based Shuffle Master, which makes random card shufflers among other products, filed suit in federal court in Las Vegas against Taiwan Fulgent Enterprise Co. Ltd.
Shuffle Master complains Taiwan Fulgent makes the "A Plus Shuffler," which Shuffle Master asserts is a continuous shuffler product similar to Shuffle Master's "One2Six" random card shuffler.
The lawsuit alleges Taiwan Fulgent has promoted its product at the Global Gaming Expo, or G2E, this week and at the G2E conferences in November 2007 and November 2008.
Shuffle Master alleges the Taiwan Fulgent product infringes on three of its patents covering a "device and method for continuously shuffling and monitoring cards."
Taiwan Fulgent officials couldn't immediately be located for comment and the company has not yet responded to the suit, which seeks an injunction blocking Taiwan Fulgent from importing, promoting and selling the product.

I want to file suit against shufflemaster for making the continuous shuffler and starting the avalanche that has virtually destroyed black jack in the past 10 years.
