Description:
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[0001] Domino games can be dated back to 1120 AD in China, they may later spread to the European continent by missionaries who later also brought the games to the American continent. Though gaming rules are different throughout the world, shuffling chips by hand after each game remains unchanged and has become a shared duty among players. Time after time hustlers read and mark chips during shuffling. Our invention has help eliminate those issues in domino game playing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF INVENTION
[0008] The following disclosure describes how each component works together supporting our invention claims and its functionality of a domino game shuffler.
[0009] A, FIG. 1 is the embodiment of the inner side of the shuffler that has multiple agitators (1ax3, 1b,1c,1d,1e). Agitators 1ax3 are allocated on the shuffler's perimeter; they are followed by 1d, 1e, 1b, and 1c which are staggered towards to the center. Agitators (claim 1), which are staggered throughout the embodiment (claim 2), are designed to bump chips around during shuffling.
[0010] B, FIG. 2 is a bird's eye view of the shuffler, which is round in structure (2b), has a handle (2a) in the center, and has a lid that is 2/3 ''inch tall (2c). Each part of the structure supports our invention claims of functionality; the handle (Claim 6) is held by hand during shuffling, the 2/3'' inch height of the lid (claim 4) keeps chips from turning over during shuffling, and the 13-14'' diameter of the round embodiment (claim 5) offers enough room for chips to move around.
[0011] For a few hundred years of domino games in existence, shuffling chips after each game by hand becomes a burden for players as well as gives a chance for cheating. Our invention of a hand held shuffler offers playing domino game a new pleasant way of shuffling after each game. The shuffler prevents chip marking and chip reading during shuffling. This invention will help make shuffling dominos chips less of a burden.
