A fraud detection system which detects fraud in a game of performing collection and redemption of chips in accordance with a win or lose result includes a camera which captures an image of chips contained in a chip tray of a dealer, an image analyzing apparatus which analyses the image captured by the camera to detect an amount of the chips contained in the chip tray, a card distribution device which determines a win or lose result of a game, and a control device which compares the win or lose result of the game and the amount of the chips contained in the chip tray before and after collection and redemption of the chips to detect fraud.

A poker machine and a poker card collating method therefor. The poker machine includes the following. A card feeding device, includes a control disk being provided at the center of a panel, the control disk being driven up and down by means of a center lifting mechanism, and when the control disk is lifted, a card feeding port for placing cards being formed below the control disk. A card collating device, the center of a card collating base being provided with a center rotating disc driven to rotate by means of a rotating disc electric motor, includes an arc-shaped card collating channel for collating the cards being formed between the center rotating disc and a card collating channel outer side wall, and a plurality of conveying rollers being provided at the bottom of the arc-shaped card collating channel. A dealer includes a card storage box and a card dealing device.

A table game system is provided that includes a plurality of association tables, each of which makes it possible to obtain the correlation between codes attached to shuffled playing cards and the ranks thereof, and prevents the correlation between the codes of the shuffled playing cards and the ranks thereof from being known by a person who intends to commit cheating by changing the association table used as appropriate. A card shoe apparatus 2 of the table game system of the present invention includes a barcode reader 100 that reads a barcode 3 attached to a shuffled playing card set 1s, and thereby reads a shuffled card ID that can uniquely identify the shuffled playing card set 1s. The shuffled card ID of the shuffled playing cards to be used is subjected to a process of association to identify one of association table numbers (T1 to T10) or database numbers, and the rank and the suit of a card 1 that are attached to the card 1 are identified based on a code C with an association table (T3). If the code C does not match a code defined in the association table (T3), an error occurs and it is determined that cheating may be committed.

Systems and methods for facilitating a card game on a table apparatus that comprises components (e.g., RFID antennas) for sensing wagering chips placed on the table provide for determining, based upon data from such components: (i) all losses to be collected by a dealer; (ii) all wins to be paid out by the dealer; and (iii) all commissions to be collected by the dealer. The systems and methods also facilitate outputting, on a dealer display device, an indication of one or more of the following for each player participating in the card game and based on the foregoing determinations: (i) a commission to be collected, if any; (ii) a losing wager to be collected, if any; and (iii) a win amount to be paid out, if any.
