My wife plays Canasta with a group of friends and they use six decks of playing cards. I got this for her for her Birthday and she loved it.Two things that aren't great.One, on the instructions they tell you how to fix it when it doesn't work. Seems to me if they know there is a weak link they might try to fix that problem up front rather then telling you how to make it work.Two, the button you push to make it run is really hard to find the first time you use it. A little red paint saying RUN wouldn't put the company into bankruptcy.One other annoyance is they hide what the battery requirements are. It's in tiny lettering on the box and it's four C batteries.All in all though it is very helpful and works well and for the money I say go for it.
