CARD SHOE APPARATUS AND TABLE GAME SYSTEM

摘要

A table game system capable of preventing fraud is provided. A card shoe apparatus (4) includes a card guide unit (7) that guides cards (1) that are drawn from a card housing unit (5) one by one onto a game table (6), a card reading unit (8) for reading from a card (1) a code (3) that indicates a figure (number, rank) of the card (1) when the card (1) is drawn from the card housing unit (5), and a control unit (12) that determines the winner/loser of a card game based on the number of the cards (1) sequentially read by the card reading unit (8). The control unit (12) further includes a memory (13) that stores information on a predetermined number of cards (1) read by the card reading unit (8), and has a function of detecting an irregularity of a shuffled playing card set (1s). If an irregularity of the shuffled playing card set (1s) housed in the card housing unit (5) is detected, the management division or the pit of a casino is informed of the irregularity in the arrangement order of the cards through an external output means (100), and the irregularity is further indicated by a card arrangement order irregularity lamp (101) and a liquid crystal display unit (102). Thereby the fraudulent action can be prevented.
