One example of machines doing a continious shuffle is a glitch that has appeared on some machines. On some games like DB DDB poker that pay extra with a kicker, if the player is delt four of a kind that will not benefit with a kicker and instead of holding all the cards they hold just the 4 the machine would draw a duplicate card so the player would have five of a kind...problem is the game does not have wild cards so the machine, not being able to find an award for five of a kind locks up with a malfunction error. Sad part aabout it is the player is given back their original bet and do not get paid the four of a kind.
