Card-reading shoes may include an input area configured to support cards therein. A card-reading system may be located within the card-reading shoe, the card-reading system including at least one sensor configured to detect at least a rank and suit of each card processed by the card-reading shoe. A toggle weight may be pivotally mounted proximate an output end of the shoe. The toggle weight may be configured to selectively rotate to enable cards to be removed from the card-reading shoe via the output end and to selectively remain stationary to prevent removed cards from being reinserted into the card-reading shoe via the output end. The card-reading shoes may optionally include a removable cartridge including a delivery end configured to enable manual removal of cards from the removable cartridge when the removable cartridge is removed from the input area.

The card-reading shoe of claim 1, wherein the toggle weight comprises an elongated member having a first end mounted pivotally to a frame of the shoe and a second, opposite end shaped and positioned to block reentry of cards into the card-reading shoe via the output end. 3. The card-reading shoe of claim 2, wherein the second, opposite end is at least substantially flat. 4. The card-reading shoe of claim 3, wherein the first end of the elongated member is located proximate an upper surface of the output end and the second, opposite contacts a lower surface of the output end when the toggle weight is positioned to prevent removed cards from being reinserted into the card-reading shoe via the output end. 5. The card-reading shoe of claim 2, wherein the second, opposite end is located proximate an exit port of the output end, the exit port sized and shaped to permit one or more cards at a time to exit the output end. 6. The card-reading shoe of claim 2, wherein the elongated member is configured to pivot freely about an axis pin pivotally mounting the elongated member to the frame. 7. The card-reading shoe of claim 1, further comprising a removable cartridge sized and shaped to receive a set of shuffled playing cards, the removable cartridge sized to be received within the input area of the shoe, the removable cartridge comprising a delivery end configured to enable manual removal of cards from the removable cartridge when the removable cartridge is removed from the input area. 8. The card-reading shoe of claim 7, wherein the removable cartridge comprises a movable weight configured to urge cards within a chamber of the removable cartridge toward an angled surface at an end of the removable cartridge. 9. The card-reading shoe of claim 8, wherein a finger slot is located in the angled surface of the removable cartridge. 10. The card-reading shoe of claim 7, further comprising card rollers located proximate the card-reading system, the card rollers configured to enable removal of a card from within the card-reading shoe when the removable cartridge is removed from the input area. 11. The card-reading shoe of claim 10, wherein the card rollers are manually operable. 12. The card-reading shoe of claim 7, wherein the removable cartridge comprises a plurality of position-stabilizing elements configured to maintain the removable cartridge at a predetermined orientation within the input area and to enable selective removal of the removable cartridge from the input area. 13. The card-reading shoe of claim 12, wherein the position-stabilizing elements comprise magnets and a receptacle configured to mate with corresponding ferromagnetic elements and a pin in the input area. 14. A method of operating a card-reading shoe, comprising: supporting cards in an input area of the card-reading shoe;detecting at least a rank and suit of each card passing through the card-reading shoe utilizing at least one sensor of a card-reading system within the card-reading shoe;removing cards from the card-reading shoe via an output end of the card-reading shoe by moving the cards past a toggle weight pivotally mounted proximate an output end of the shoe; andpreventing cards from being reinserted into the card-reading shoe via the output end utilizing the toggle weight. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein preventing the cards from being reinserted into the card-reading shoe via the output end utilizing the toggle weight comprises contacting an at least substantially flat surface of the toggle weight against a lower surface of the output end. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein removing the cards from the card-reading shoe via the output end comprises causing the toggle weight to pivot freely about an axis pin pivotally mounting the toggle weight to a frame of the output end. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein supporting the cards in the input area of the card-reading shoe comprises positioning a removable cartridge containing a set of shuffled playing cards within the input area of the shoe. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising removing the removable cartridge from the input area and manually removing cards from the removable cartridge one at a time via a delivery end of the removable cartridge. 19. The method of claim 18, further comprising removing a card from within the card-reading shoe after removing the removable cartridge from the input area utilizing card rollers located proximate the card-reading system. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein removing the card utilizing the card rollers comprises manually operating the card rollers.
