The card turning driving mechanism for driving the card turning component 4209 to open or close the first card outlet port 4208 (open the card turning channel 4224) may be implemented by a motor through a speed reducing mechanism or a transmission mechanism, in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 9 to 11, the electromagnet 4229 is used for driving, one end of the card turning shaft 42091 of the card turning component 4209 is fixed with a crank 4234, and a swing end of the crank 4234 is connected with a movable end of the electromagnet 4229 through a connecting rod 4233, so that when the card turning component 4209 needs to be operated, the electromagnet 4229 pulls the card turning component 4209 to swing through the connecting rod 4233 and the crank 4234. Because the card turning action is carried out according to the result that the front side and the back side of the playing card are identified by the camera, the playing card is selective and intermittent, so the electromagnet structure of the embodiment is more reasonable, and the manufacturing cost is low.

The card pushing member 4216 may be an elastic member such as a spring, an elastic piece, or an elastic energizing mechanism composed of a plurality of members. In this embodiment, the card pushing member 4216 is a plurality of springs disposed at the end of the channel. Thus, the structure is simple and the installation is convenient.

In another alternative embodiment of the card turning mechanism, the card turning passage 4224 is directly connected to the card storage box 41, the second card outlet passage 4213, the second card outlet pressure wheel 4212 and the card pushing component 4216 are not arranged, and the turned playing cards directly return to the card storage box to be dealt again.

When the card turning part closes the card turning channel or opens the outlet of the first card outlet channel, the card inlet channel, the conveying channel and the first card outlet channel are sequentially connected, and playing cards are sent out from the first card outlet channel to the card receiving position of the card receiving seat; when the card turning component opens the card turning channel and closes the outlet of the first card outlet channel, the card inlet channel, the conveying channel, the first card outlet channel and the card turning channel are sequentially connected, and the playing cards are stopped by the card turning component after coming out of the first card outlet channel and are turned to enter the card turning channel, and are conveyed to the tail end of the card turning channel by the card turning wheels and the card turning pressing wheels to enter the card storage box (a plurality of conveying wheels and pressing wheels thereof can be arranged between the card storage box and the card turning wheels to convey the playing cards). Therefore, the front and the back of the poker cards passing through are turned back through the poker card turning channel, so that the front and the back of the poker cards are turned over. The other structures are the same as the foregoing. The structural scheme can make the depth of the card storage box shallow and the height of the poker machine low, but the card dealing efficiency is relatively low and the manufacturing cost is high.
