         [0038]    A dealing system in the present application available to various poker games is further explained in dealing steps of Baccarat. 
         [0039]    Referring to  FIG. 2 , which is a schematic view of a control procedure of a dealing system in the present disclosure. With the dealing system activated, the dealing control device  2  issues instruction information for initial settings to the dealing robot device  3 . The steps to transmit the instruction information are explained as follows: 
         [0040]    S 101 : The dealing control device  2  issues a request (Program instruction: Motion Request (REST)) to the dealing robot device  3 ; the dealing robot device  3  receiving the request responds to the dealing control device  2  by sending an acknowledgement message (ACK). 
         [0041]    S 102 : The dealing robot device  3  which completed resetting issues a notification (Program instruction: Motion Notification (RESET)) to the dealing control device  2 ; the dealing control device  2  receiving the notification responds to the dealing robot device  3  by sending an acknowledgement message (ACK). 
         [0042]    With the initial settings completed, a dealing system executes the following instruction information for dealing in the first and second rounds. The steps are explained as follows: 
         [0043]    S 103 : The dealing control device  2  issues a request (Program instruction: Motion Request (DEAL)) to the dealing robot device  3 ; the dealing robot device  3  which completed dealing responds to the dealing control device  2  by sending an acknowledgement message (ACK). 
         [0044]    S 104 : The dealing robot device  3  acquires a card value through an image acquiring device (not shown in the figure) and inform the dealing control device  2  of the card value by sending a notification (Program instruction: Card Recognition Notification (Card)); the dealing control device  2  receiving the card value responds to the dealing robot device  3  by sending an acknowledgement message (ACK). (The parameter “Card” comprises information related to a poker card  321  such as suit and value.) 
         [0045]    S 105 : The dealing robot device  3  receiving the acknowledgement message in S 104  issues a notification (Program instruction: Motion Complete Notification (DEAL)) to the dealing control device  2 ; the dealing control device  2  receiving the notification responds to the dealing robot device  3  by sending an acknowledgement message (ACK). 
         [0046]    The abovementioned image acquiring module comprises a photographic lens and a modular PCB on which electric circuits for image processing are installed. An image of a poker card  321  acquired through the image acquiring module can be transmitted from the dealing robot device  3  directly or recognized by the dealing robot device  3  for the suit and the value on the poker card  321 . The control-side processor  21  receiving the card value sets up instructions such as dealing poker cards  321  to a banker/player in the nth round. 
         [0047]    The dealing control device  2  relies on card values transmitted from the dealing robot device  3  to decide whether a third poker card should be dealt based on rules in Table 1 after two poker cards were dealt on the banker&#39;s (player&#39;s) card shelf. The dealing control device  2  which decides to deal the third poker card will execute dealing instruction information from S 106  to S 108 .

         [0073]    Referring to  FIG. 6 , which is a structural diagram of the dealing robot device  3  in another embodiment. As shown in the block diagram in  FIG. 1 , the dealing robot device  3  comprises a humanoid robot  31 , an electric card shelf  34  and a retrieving device  35 . The humanoid robot  31  and the retrieving device  35  are adjacent to the table  33 ; the card box  32  and the electric card shelf  34  are placed on a desktop  331  of the table  33 . In another embodiment, the table  33  comprises a first concave area  332  and a second concave area  333 , both of which concave from table edges to the table center and are opposite to each other. In another embodiment, the humanoid robot  31  and the retrieving device  35  are placed in the first concave area  332  and the second concave area  333 , respectively. 
         [0074]    A poker card acquiring portion  311 A defined at one end of the robotic arm  311  of the humanoid robot  31  can be an electric gripper or an electric sucker by which a poker card  321  at an outlet of the card box  32  is extracted. The electric card shelf  34  is divided into a banker poker card placement area  341  and a player poker card placement area  342 . The banker poker card placement area  341  is further divided into a first-round placement area  341 A, a second-round placement area  341 B and a third-round placement area  341 C; the player poker card placement area  342  is further divided into a first-round placement area  342 A, a second-round placement area  342 B and a third-round placement area  342 C. 
         [0075]    Referring to  FIG. 7 , which illustrates the poker card acquiring portion  311 A further comprises an electric sucker  311 B in another embodiment. The electric sucker  311 B has a control port electrically connected to the controller  302  and is regulated by the controller  302  during extraction of a poker card. 
         [0076]    Referring to  FIG. 8 , which illustrates the controller  302  obeys an instruction listed in Table 2 for operation when the instruction from the control-side second communication interface  23  is received by a dealing-side communication interface  301 . In the case of “Type” of an instruction, “DEAL (1st Banker)” for example, a microprocessor fetches the instruction, “IN-6”, and executes “Deal a poker card to the banker in the first round”. The steps for execution are shown from M 101  to M 105 :
   M 101 : Instruct the poker card acquiring portion  311 A of the robotic arm  311  to move to P1(x1, y1, z1), the outlet of the card box  32 .   M 102 : Instruct the poker card acquiring portion  311 A to catch a poker card  321 .   M 103 : Instruct the poker card acquiring portion  311 A of the robotic arm  311  to move to P2(x2, y2, z2), the first placement area of the banker poker card placement area.   M 104 : Instruct the poker card acquiring portion  311 A to release the poker card  321 .   M 105 : Instruct the robotic arm  311  to move to an initial position.   
 
         [0082]    The abovementioned robot may follow a straight path or a fitted-curve path (which imitates movement of a human being&#39;s arm) between the two positions, P1 and P2. In another embodiment, the controller  302  further instructs the robotic arm  311  to download humanoid motion settings during movement between the two positions, P1 and P2, and express humanoid postures based on fitted-curve movement rather than straight movement. The abovementioned fitted curve is created according to movement of a real person&#39;s arms during dealing.
