<p>Card-dealing apparatus is described, particularly for dealing a predetermined set of bridge hands. Cards are taken sequentially from a card hopper (10), moved across a reading head, and then distributed to one of four chutes, down which each card slides to a stop rail or receptacle, thus providing each player with the required hand. The reading head senses the image of each card and the electronics decides to which chute it should be directed. Specially marked cards are not required. The selection of each hand is under software control, chosen by use of the keypad (22) and associated with information displayed on screens (21a and 21b). The apparatus operates in conjunction with an electronically readable medium (SSD, CD-Rom or similar, 35, inserted (at position 34) into the apparatus and which contains a very large number of pre-recorded hands.</p> |
