Roll-Over Aces is a Triumph based card effect developed by Derek Dingle where the deck is given several face-up and face-down shuffles then following occurs:

  • The deck is "rolled" on the table, leaving 4 packets behind with an Ace on each packet.
  • The Ace packets are spread revealing four Royal Flushes under each.
  • The remainder of the deck is spread showing all the cards are separated by suit and in numerical order.

The Roll-Over action was created by Ron Ferris.
