card dealer
Shuffles and distributes
A card dealer is a person who distributes cards to players in a card game, whether casually among friends or professionally in a casino.
In casinos, dealers manage the game—shuffling, dealing, collecting bets, and enforcing rules: The card dealer slid two cards across the felt to each player.
Also called simply a dealer.
