Abstract: A method for managing a card game supported by a poker dealing device and central management unit, a computerized-information-processing center includes the following steps. Read the playing card that is being dispensed from the poker dealing device to generate a card signal representing a card value of the playing card in such a manner that the other playing cards, which have not been dispensed from the poker dealing device, remain in secret. Send the card signal to the central management unit by means of remote communication. Receive the card signal with a signal receiving link of the central management unit. Process the card signal to record the card values of the playing cards that have been dispensed from the poker dealing device with the central management unit, such that the central management unit is capable of tracking the card values of each hand for a card game, thereby reducing a risking of cheating with reference to the recorded card values.

Abstract: A poker dealing device includes a housing and a card reader. The housing has a receiving cavity for receiving cards, and a dispensing slot communicating with the receiving cavity for allowing the cards to be dispensed therethrough in a one-by-one manner. The card reader is provided at the dispensing slot at a position out of the receiving cavity for reading a card value when the card is dispensed out of the receiving cavity through the dispensing slot. As a result, it is guaranteed that the card values of the cards in the receiving cavity would be kept in a secrete manner until the cards are dispensed out of the receiving cavity through the dispensing slot.
