Abstract:
A table game system is provided capable of identifying shuffled playing cards used at the time of the occurrence of a problem in a card shoe apparatus, thereby enabling an investigation of the cause thereof or the taking of countermeasures therefor. A card shoe apparatus of the table game system of the present invention includes a barcode reader that reads a barcode provided in a shuffled playing card set, thereby reading a shuffled card ID that uniquely identifies the shuffled playing card set. A sensor for detecting the opening/closing of the lid is provided under the lid to detect the opening/closing of the lid, thereby detecting replacement of the shuffled playing card set. A control unit further includes a function of storing security items in connection with a shuffled card ID.

Claim (Index 1):
A table game system, comprising:\n a plurality of shuffled playing cards made up of a plurality of number of decks shuffled to have a unique arrangement order; a shuffled card ID given to the shuffled playing cards as an ID code; a shuffled-card-ID-obtaining means capable of obtaining the shuffled card ID; a control unit for storing the shuffled card ID obtained by the shuffled-card-ID-obtaining means; a card shoe apparatus for holding the shuffled playing cards such that the held shuffled playing cards are manually dealt one by one onto a game table, the card shoe apparatus comprising,\n a card housing unit for housing the shuffled playing cards, \n an opening through which allows the shuffled playing cards being drawn from the housing unit one by one, \n a card reading unit for reading information on rank from each of the cards drawn from the card housing unit onto the game table, and \n a display unit for outputting a result of a winner/loser determination by a winner/loser determination unit; and \n a database being accessibly connected to the card shoe apparatus, wherein:\n the control unit identifies a card set which is used in a current game with the shuffled card ID, \n the database contains game table information which indicates one of the game tables on which the identified card set is currently used, and \n the database further contains information on at least one of the following items:\n (1) information concerning a pit or a card room where the shuffled playing cards are managed; and \n (2) information on purchase or procurement of the shuffled playing cards.
