Abstract:
A table game system is provided that includes a plurality of association tables, each of which makes it possible to obtain the correlation between codes attached to shuffled playing cards and the ranks thereof, and prevents the correlation between the codes of the shuffled playing cards and the ranks thereof from being known by a person who intends to commit cheating by changing the association table used as appropriate. A card shoe apparatus of the table game system of the present invention includes a barcode reader that reads a barcode attached to a shuffled playing card set, and thereby reads a shuffled card ID that can uniquely identify the shuffled playing card set. The shuffled card ID of the shuffled playing cards to be used is subjected to a process of association to identify one of association table numbers or database numbers, and the rank and the suit of a card that are attached to the card are identified based on a code with an association table. If the code does not match a code defined in the association table, an error occurs and it is determined that cheating may be committed.

Claim (Index 1):
A table game system comprising:\n shuffle playing cards composed of playing cards made up of a plurality of number of decks shuffled to have a unique arrangement order, a uniquely identifiable shuffled card ID being attached to the shuffled playing cards as an ID code; a card shoe apparatus that houses the shuffled playing cards such that the said shuffled playing cards can be manually dealt one by one onto a game table and reads from the card a code printed on the card concerning the rank thereof; a means capable of identifying the shuffled card ID; and a control unit that includes a memory for storing a plurality of association tables or a plurality of databases, each of which makes it possible to obtain the rank of each card based on the code of each card, wherein each association table or database is recorded in association with the shuffled card ID, and one of the plurality of association tables or databases is identified by identifying the shuffled card ID, and based on the association table or database identified, the card shoe apparatus reads the code when each card is drawn from the card housing unit and the rank of the card is identified based on that code, wherein the system further comprises:\n a liquid crystal display unit which is provided on a side part of the card shoe apparatus that displays a mismatch, if the code read by the card shoe apparatus does not match a code that is defined in the association table or the database identified and, \n an output means which is provided on an upper part of the card shoe apparatus that output a result of a game.
