<p>The invention is directed to a playing card dispensing shoe apparatus, system, and method where the shoe (10) has a card scanner which scans the indicia on a playing card as the card moves along and out of a chute (16a) of the shoe by operation of the dealer. The scanner comprises an optical-sensor (41) used in combination with a neural network which is trained using error back-propagation to recognize the card suits and card values of the playing cards as they are moved past the scanner. The scanning process in combination with a central processing unit determines the progress of the game and, by identifying card counting systems or basic playing strategies in use by the players of the game, provides a way to limit or prevent casino losses and calculate the Theoretical Win of the casino, thus also providing an accurate method for determining the amount of comps to be given to a particular player.</p> |
