A table game system is provided capable of identifying shuffled playing cards used at the time of the occurrence of a problem in a card shoe apparatus, thereby enabling an investigation of the cause thereof or the taking of countermeasures therefor. A card shoe apparatus of the table game system of the present invention includes a barcode reader and RFID that reads a barcode or RFID provided in a shuffled playing card set, thereby reading a shuffled card ID that uniquely identifies the shuffled playing card set. The control unit has further a function of identifying an exposition of the cut card by the card reading unit and memorizing this information as that the shuffled playing card set now being used will have or be changed to the new one. The information of the exposition of the cut card is at least used for identifying an end of the current game using the shuffled playing cards set is currently set in the card shoe apparatus. A control unit further includes a function of identifying specified events that occur during the use of set of the shuffled playing cards at a game table, and of reporting these occurrences of the specified event in connection with a shuffled card ID.

The present invention automates the playing of the game of dominoes. This automation will allow players in different geographic locations to compete against each other in real-time as if the players were across the table from each other. This invention also captures the sites and sounds of the atmosphere during a domino game and transmits to sites and sounds to all of the contestants of a domino game. This new domino game overcomes the barrier of distance and allows players from around the country and around the world to compete against each other. This present invention also automates functions necessarily performed during a game which can include keeping score, determining if a domino play result in a score for that player and establishing a play timer to promote consistent and efficient flow during a domino game.

A table game system is provided capable of identifying shuffled playing cards used at the time of the occurrence of a problem in a card shoe apparatus, thereby enabling an investigation of the cause thereof or the taking of countermeasures therefor. A card shoe apparatus of the table game system of the present invention includes a barcode reader that reads a barcode provided in a shuffled playing card set, thereby reading a shuffled card ID that uniquely identifies the shuffled playing card set. A sensor for detecting the opening/closing of the lid is provided under the lid to detect the opening/closing of the lid, thereby detecting replacement of the shuffled playing card set. A control unit further includes a function of storing security items in connection with a shuffled card ID.

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 of the table game system of the present invention includes a barcode reader that reads a barcode attached to a shuffled playing card set, and thereby reads a shuffled card ID that can uniquely identify the shuffled playing card set. 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 or database numbers, and the rank and the suit of a card that are attached to the card are identified based on a code with an association table. If the code does not match a code defined in the association table, an error occurs and it is determined that cheating may be committed.

A system and method of conducting a drone race or game in a contained area is disclosed herein. The system may also include cameras attached to the drones and the video feed from the camera is transmitted to a computing device used to control the drone and to display the video feed. The system may also use computing devices and monitors to display the video feeds from the cameras attached to the drones. The system may also be configured as a game with information points.

A system that managing playing cards to which information is given by an RFID tag and gaming chips to which information is given by an RFID tag. A system is provided with a storage box integrally configured to contain a card drawer for storing playing cards and a chip drawer for storing gaming chips, a card RFID reader for reading information of an RFID tag attached to the playing cards stored in the card drawer, and a chip RFID reader for reading information of the RFID tag attached storing gaming chips stored in the chip drawer. A card RFID reader and a chip RFID reader reads information of each RFID tag using different frequencies.

Some embodiments are directed to a playing card system configured to authenticate a playing card for playing a card game. The playing card system comprising a playing card, a playing card authentication device, and a playing card authentication server. The playing card comprises an electronic memory storing authentication data, and a counter.

A system that manages a package of shuffled playing cards and gaming chips includes a storage box and a control apparatus. The storage box is provided in association with a game table and stores a plurality of shuffled playing cards and a plurality of chip cases and also includes a card reader that reads playing card ID codes of the shuffled playing cards and a chip reader that reads case ID codes of the chip cases. The control apparatus outputs total numbers of the shuffled playing cards and the chip cases stored in the storage box and the playing card ID codes and case ID codes stored in the storage box by monitoring read playing card ID codes and case ID codes.
