Abstract

A playing card delivery shoe (300) is used in the play of the casino table card game of baccarat or blackjack or any game where cards are pulled one at a time from the shoe. The apparatus comprisies a reader (350) or an imager that scans lines bisecting the image at spaced intervals. The scanning occurs on playing cards in at least the region where suit and rank symbols are provided. The scanner output is a series of voltages that are converted to binary informaton to determine rank and suit. The upper surface (320) on the output end (302) of the shoe contains a partial barrier (412) for cards to be scanned. The partial barrier has an elevated surface and limts a size of a athwah so that onl one card can be removed at a time.
