  • Publication number: 20240074087
    Abstract: A seismic base for an equipment rack includes a base plate, a first side wall attached to the base plate, a second side wall attached to the base plate, the second side wall being positioned behind the first side wall in a longitudinal direction, an anti-tip support bar extending between the first and second side walls in the longitudinal direction, and a support beam extending in a lateral direction, between the anti-tip support bar and a first lateral wall of the first and second side walls, respectively. The seismic base resists translatory and/or pivoting movements (e.g., of the equipment rack to which the seismic base is attached) in or about, respectively, the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction.

  • Publication number: 20230158395
    Abstract: A card shuffler and dealing module shuffles eight decks of cards (or less) and delivers Baccarat hands (or other games) to a dealer. Cards are randomly selected from two pre-shuffle bins and delivered to a connected or integral dealing module. The card shuffler initially selects and delivers four cards (the minimum number needed for a hand of Baccarat) to a dealing area of the dealing module. Two additional cards (the maximum number of additional cards needed for a hand of Baccarat) are then selected and delivered to the dealing module rear of the four initial cards. Accordingly, up to six cards are available to be dealt during the Baccarat hand. The smart card shuffler tracks the rank of the cards and discerns the future outcome of the Baccarat game and adjusts the cards made available to the dealer via an automatic dealing module cover and card transport mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11130047
    Abstract: An automatic card shuffler to shuffle eight decks of cards (or less) and deal a round of Baccarat. The automatic shuffler comprises two pre-shuffle bins, each receiving approximately four decks of cards wherein the pre-shuffle bins are spaced apart from one another with card slides directing to a card-receiving area. Cards are randomly selected from the cards in each of the pre-shuffle bins and propelled onto the card slides directing the cards to the card-receiving area. Once a sufficient number of buffer cards (e.g., seven) have been deposited into the card-receiving area, a card flipper moves the seven cards against a face plate of an integral dealing shoe. A buffer-holder member maintains the buffer cards against the face plate for dealing as the card flipper returns to a home position to receive more shuffled cards while buffer cards are being dealt in a round of Baccarat.
