(Nasdaq: SHFL - news) announced today that its ACE(TM) shuffler has been approved by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission. The approval means that the ACE, Shuffle Master's advanced single deck shuffler, may now be installed in New Jersey casinos. The Company noted that it expects to secure incremental leases for more than 70 ACE shufflers in Atlantic City, replacing previously sold older model ``BG'' units. Thirty-four of these leased units are being installed this week. Shuffle Master also announced that Three Card PokerĀ®, the specialty table game that the Company acquired last year, is expected to have its first Atlantic City installation in the Sands casino within the next week.
