  • Patent number: 8920229
    Abstract: A gaming card verification system includes electronic gaming tables and a system server in communication with and located remotely from the tables. The system or table tracks playing cards at each table and facilitates alerts when improper conditions are detected. Gaming tables can include a physical surface for playing card games, an automated shoe or card handler, a smart discard rack, and a table controller. First sensors detect a first identifier on each card and separate second sensors detect a separate second identifier on the card. The first identifier can be a randomly assigned code unique to each card, while the second identifier indicates a game value of the card. A database can store and provide details regarding card identifiers, values and locations. The discard rack can detect discards and reconcile those with what issued from the shoe. Both counterfeit card insertions and missing cards can be detected thereby.
