They do it's a very heavily used feature of the iDeal shuffler the One2Six model shuffler doesn't have a camera. That was a big problem you often get missing cards that aren't really missing. Sometimes (many times) moisture would cause the card to curl pulling the card corner with its number and suit away from the area the camera views.
The main problem was a deck that wasn't in the database but I had to find one close enough to tune in. It was OK but many prompts of missing cards when there were there.
Other problems are table felt fibers sucked in, makeup, hair around rollers, card dust all get on the lens and around the rollers.
