The present invention provides an apparatus and method for moving playing cards from a first group of cards into plural hands, wherein each of the hands contains a random arrangement of the same quantity of cards. The apparatus (20) comprises a card receiver (26) for receiving a first group of cards, a single stack or card-receiving compartments (28) generally adjacent to the receiver, the stack generally vertically movable, an elevator (78) for moving the stack, a card-moving mechanism (30) between the card receiver and the stack, and a microprocessor (360) that controls the card-moving mechanism and the elevator so that an individual card is moved into an identified compartment. The number of compartments receiving cards and the number of cards moved to each compartment may be selected.
