Shuffle Master Inc., the Las Vegas- based gaming-equipment maker, was sued by TableMax Gaming Inc. and accused of infringing patents used for an electronic-gaming machine.

Shuffle Master’s Table Master product, which allows games like poker and blackjack without a dealer, uses three patents belonging to TableMax, the company said yesterday in a complaint in federal court in Las Vegas. TableMax asked for unspecified damages and an order barring Shuffle Master’s actions.
