Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2004108238A1] The present invention features a playing card shuffling device (20), which through the use of a small image capturing means (30), captures an image of the face value of each card and stores the image in memory. This image is sorted in the format of a bit map image. The operator of the machine would be able to recall through the use of a key pad (44), the images of the cards that comprised the individual hands in the previous game. This feature allows for verification of a winning hand after a game has been completed. Thereby a quick recheck of hands before paying a winning hand is performed. The face value of each card is determined by character recognition software. These card values would be stored in memory for archival access for use in monitoring the randomness of the game and determining the number of winning hands.
