  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20210275900
    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: 11071904
    Abstract: An automatic playing card shuffler system including an automatic playing card shuffler and deck of modified playing cards. The modifications relate to asymmetrical information on each card face, back and/or side for identifying playing card orientation. The asymmetrical information is discernable by one or more image-capturing and/or sensors associated with the automatic playing card shuffler. Accordingly, the orientation of the playing cards may be monitored by the automatic playing card shuffler. The orientation data can be analyzed by a processor of the automatic playing card shuffler to determine unusual orientation patterns indicative of advantage play or cheats. Another version utilizes two distinct marks to identify important cards and less important cards.

  • Publication number: 20190302459
    Abstract: A pair of eye-mounted displays includes a right eye-mounted display and a right eye-mounted display. Each eye-mounted display comprises a contact lens. A femtoprojector system in each contact lens projects an image onto a retina of a user's eye when the contact lens is mounted on the user's eye. When the pair of eye-mounted displays is mounted on the user's left eye and on the user's right eye, a left-eye image is projected onto the user's left eye retina and a right-eye image is projected onto the user's right eye retina. The two projected images only partially overlap within the user's binocular visual field.
