Abstract

See full text

A card shooter apparatus with a card housing and an opening; a card reading unit with a card guide unit which guides cards along a card guide surface pulled out one by one from the opening onto a game table along a card dealing direction; a control unit having a processing function to determine a result of a card game based on information about the cards, including the rank; one or more card detecting sensors configured to detect the cards and to output one or more signals, and a display unit which indicates the result determined by the control unit. The card reading unit reads a rank of the cards pulled out from the card shooter, and the control unit further determines whether a card has moved in a direction opposite of the card dealing direction based on a signal output from the one or more card detecting sensors.
