System including card game dispensing shoe with barrier and scanner, and enhanced card gaming table, enabling waging by remote bettors

摘要

A card dispensing shoe includes a scanner system that discerns the value and suit of each card dispensed, and includes a mechanical barrier to prevent dispensing a card contrary to card game rules. A CPU system within the show executes software pre-programmed with game rules, and controls the barrier to ensure against wrongful dispensing of a card. The card game can be video broadcast along with an image of each scanned card, and the resultant data broadcast over the internet to remotely located bettors who can place bets on the game in progress.
