Hmm. I am a little suspicious. I have been told by multiple casino employees (dealers and pit critters) at several casinos that Shufflemaster never sells them. All units in the field are owned by Shufflemaster and only leased by the casinos.
No need to be suspicious. They are in fact "normally" leased. However, you can purchase them new for the hefty price of 14k+. This one happens to be an older one purchased from a casino that shut down.
