A card shuffler with a card carousel includes a random number generator (RNG) and a controller configured to determine a winning outcome for a casino game. The card carousel may include a plurality of slots or sectors, with the slots or sectors corresponding to an outcome of a casino game. The outcome may be determined in a noiseless manner, where the RNG determines the winning slot or sector. The carousel need not rotate to determine an outcome, and the carousel may therefore be fixed or rotatable relative to the base. A card mechanism may be actuated to eject a card from the winning card slot. A plurality of lights may be disposed around the carousel and may be selectively illuminable to indicate the winning sector. The sectors may include display screens with indicia displayed thereon.

A deck of playing cards and a method of playing a game are provided. An object of the game is to form two lines on a grid, wherein a line is defined by a horizontal or vertical line of four in a row of the same player's cards. A further object of the game may be to form two strings on a grid, where a string is defined as a horizontal or vertical line made up of the same player's cards, the cards of each string containing four different elements, with a different element appearing on each card of the string. The game may be played with physical cards or in a virtual environment executed by a video game application on a computing device.
