Cheats
The Duck Shuffler has a maximum Lure Resistance of 1 round.
The Duck Shuffler will spin his slots every round, resulting in one of five random outcomes depending on whether or not 3 of the exact same slots are rolled. These outcomes are as follows:
Bust - No effect.
Bar - When the Duck Shuffler rolls all bars, two gold bars will fall from the sky, damaging both all Toons and all Cogs in the fight. All Toons will take 3 damage and all Cogs will take 8 damage (9 damage if the Cog is Marked). It is possible for the Duck Shuffler to defeat himself and other Cogs if he rolls this.
Ducks - When the Duck Shuffler rolls all ducks, all Toons will take 4 damage and will be turned into Duck Toons until the Duck Shuffler is defeated.
Sevens - When the Duck Shuffler rolls all sevens, all Toons and Cogs in the fight will be healed for 7 HP. The latter can be Overhealed.
Jellybeans - When the Duck Shuffler rolls all cherries, all Toons in the fight will gain a base set of 20 Jellybeans (stacks with Jellybean boosters).
This is one of the few Manager fights in the game where Toon-Up isn't an instant slot in. Due to the fact that his one main attack does a staggering 6 damage, you generally won't find yourself having to heal too much unless you somehow manage to have 4 Cogs hitting you all at once. Better yet, just let him roll Sevens and immediately undo any damage he just did that turn. And even if you do need to do the healing yourself, your two healing options significantly outpace his damage anyway healing either double or just above however much damage he'll dish out on average.
Rating: 3/3 Stars
You already don't have to heal in this fight, so having your Toon-Up prestiged is really overkill. But if you really hate seeing a Laff Meter that isn't completely full, then go ahead and take it. With Toon-Up prestiged, both of your healing options will almost completely be able to undo the damage of his Spin attack, bringing Feather's self-healing up to 5, just 1 Laff under Spin's 6 damage, and Megaphone up to 10, which is the maximum amount of damage that any Toon can take from the Duck Shuffler in one turn.
There isn't really too much of a need for Trap in this fight since this fight is just a Throw, Drop, and Zap fest. You can use it if you really want to set up, but what are you even setting up for? This fight lasts for 3, maybe 2 turns if your group has the right setup. Now keeping all of this in mind, ignore literally everything in the previous sentence because its Duck Shuffler literally who cares what you bring to this fight.

There was once a time where with the power of prestiged Trap you could defeat the Duck Shuffler in one shot. Now let's ignore the fact that this abused some oversights involving IOUs and the fact that literally no one did this in the first place. Prestiged Trap had an amazing use for dealing a grand total of 204 damage with a combined Clara and Rake. Unfortunately for prestiged Trap however, that time is not now and this oversight has long since been patched out. Umm... Now it's uh... it's good for dealing a slight amount of extra damage I guess?
The only reason you'd need this Gag in this fight is because you want to use Throw as your main source of damage instead of Drop or someone decided to randomly throw out a Trap. It's not that great for mitigating damage from extra Cogs just yet since you only have Small Magnet which will only keep Cogs lured for a single turn. Not that you'd need to mitigate damage anyway because you certainly aren't on the verge of death too often in this fight unless you're a 15 Laffer fresh out of the Toontorial.
Rating: 3/3 Stars
Prestige Lure's main use in this fight is if you want to 2 turn Duck Shuffler. Unlike Drop however, Lure and Throw cannot 2 turn this fight without Bar being rolled on both turns of the fight. It's only recommended to try to 2 turn in this way if you aspire to be just like the Duck Shuffler himself and gamble your way to victory.
The swiss army knife. It does a lot of damage, it makes Cogs take more damage for the rest of the turn, and it can even heal if you have it prestiged. It can do literally everything! Which is why you probably already have this track on you. If you don't I can imagine it's for one of two reasons:
You haven't trained it up yet.
You just did a Department Boss.
Rating: 3/3 Stars
What is there to even say about prestiged Throw? A prestige that lets you just casually toss out a lot of damage at once while healing yourself up for a pretty decent chunk of Laff. What's not to love about it here? Oh yeah, probably the fact that you take maybe 10 damage at most if you're extremely unlucky. Fortunately for you, this is one of the few fights where prestige Throw isn't an automatic slot in! Not that it matters, of course, because this is Duck Shuffler so you could bring just about anything and be fine.
Probably the golden standard for a support Gag. There isn't a single fight in the game that you don't want to bring Squirt to because it's just that useful everywhere. Were you expecting Duck Shuffler to be any different? Of course because it's so useful, odds are someone else in your group already has it so you can choose not to bring it! Wait what do you mean all 4 Toons in your group had this exact same thought?
Remember when this Gag used to require a degree in rocket science to use? Thank god Zap isn't like that anymore so you'll actually see more than 10 people using it now. And it's a good thing that people use it now too because Zap is pretty nice for Managers like this one. Deals a considerable amount of damage while letting you severely overkill a poor unsuspecting Cog with like 12 HP who has really unfortunate timing for when they chose to stand directly next to the Manager. Definitely nice to have here since you'll probably only ever see a single Cog standing next to the Duck Shuffler at most.
Rating: 3/3 Stars
Remember that poor unsuspecting Cog I just mentioned? Well now they're getting overkilled even more since they're getting hit with the direct hit this time instead of the weaker unprestige pool damage! Doesn't make too much of a difference in this fight though since the Gag levels are too low for there to be any significant difference in pool damages.
It's a good idea to keep Sound on hand. Everyone loves a good win button don't they? This track is especially useful if by some miracle enough Cogs don't fly away at the mere sight of everyone's favorite gambling addict for there to be 3 or more Cogs in the fight at once.

I said this already in the Trap section, so instead of trying to come up with some way to say the exact same thing two different ways I'm just gonna lazily copy paste what I wrote before. There isn't really too much of a need for Trap in this fight since this fight is just a Throw, Drop, and Zap fest. You can use it if you really want to set up, but what are you even setting up for? This fight lasts for 3, maybe 2 turns if your group has the right setup. Now keeping all of this in mind, ignore literally everything in the previous sentence because its Duck Shuffler literally who cares what you bring to this fight.
The king of DPS is here. As with any fight that revolves around dealing damage to a single target, Drop is one of the two best Gags to bring due to the sheer numbers it can throw out with relative ease. Not that I needed to explain any of this, of course, because Drop is pretty much just an automatic slot in for literally any Manager build. And if you did need that explained to you, then welcome to Toontown: Corporate Clash and get ready to have a fun time with this amazing game! Get used to seeing Drop being recommended for most fights in this game!

There is no optimal strategy for handling the Duck Shuffler when considering his low damage and the randomization of his cheats.
Simply attacking him with whatever Gags you and your teammates have will do the trick, with the occasional Toon-Up if he is rolling Bar too often or if the neighboring Cogs are dealing some damage.

Trivia
General
A duck shuffler is a person who makes a change to a report or project after it is done or sufficiently planned.
This term refers to the idiom "Getting your ducks in a row".
The multiple 7s in the Duck Shuffler's employee ID are meant to reference the lucky number in gambling, in which this Cog has frequently done according to its Disciplinary Records.
On the cogs.ink website, the Duck Shuffler's username is rufflerbuck and his password is bettingonnblaack.
The password was revealed by bulk-buying Level 1 and 2 Gags in the Gag Shop, which would stop at a specific number and then need to be converted to a letter. The username was revealed manually by Mac Opsys in the first batch of usernames in the 1.3.0 ARG.
The Duck Shuffler has a lisp similar to that of Looney Tunes' Daffy Duck. Every "s" he makes is replaced with "th".
The Duck Shuffler's slot machine always starts out with all 7s whenever he spawns on a street and/or he is not in battle.
For reasons unknown, the Prethinker once attempted to conduct the Duck Shuffler's routine tune-up repairs, resulting in vocalization damage that the company has never paid for the repair of.
For this reason, the Prethinker is unable to be in close proximity to the Duck Shuffler.
The Duck Shuffler was "more sane" prior to these repairs.
An Official Plush was made of the Duck Shuffler, created by Toontown: Corporate Clash and Makeship.
This was also the first purchasable merchandise released by Corporate Clash.
He was not the first Cog proposed to roam the streets of Toontown Central. Several of these unused ideas include the Handholder, the Spokesweasel, the Nontreprenuer, and the Salesblazer.
An initial design of the Duck Shuffler was going into the direction of a duck detective design, "or "Ducktective", if you will.
The Duck Shuffler Skirt should now properly be awarded after defeating Duck Shuffler.
Note that obtaining the skirt requires another Duck Shuffler defeat if a player already received the set the first time around.
