The Hammond Bridge Table
This unique bridge table "shuffles" a deck of cards and distributes them to four players. It actually doesn't "shuffle" the cards but rather distributes them randomly to the players.
Overall view of table, cards are inserted in slot at left side of table.
Left slot is where the card are placed, right or more centered slot is where card appear after "shuffling".
