Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to playing card cartridges adapted to be inserted in a card dealing device, and methods to deal cards from a card dealing device comprising such playing card cartridge.
  • Card playing games are very popular in casinos and similar institutes. As the possible return on a placed bet is high, such card games are very vulnerable for potential fraud and cheating.
  • a first source of potential fraud and cheating are arrangements made between dealer and players, e.g. signals being given in relation to the next cards being dealt. For this reason, it is made quite impossible for the dealer to see the next card when dealing. Sophisticated shoes and card dealing devices are made to prevent information on next card(s) to dealers and players.
  • a further source of possible fraud and cheating can be the use of false cards which are entered in the set of cards, either during the game itself, or during production and transporting of the set of cards to the table where they are dealt.
  • a next source of possible fraud and cheating is information of card rank and suit linked to minor defects visible on the cards itself.
  • Such minor defects can be minor colour deviations, deviations of printed pattern on the cards, minor deviation of the rectangular shape due to imperfect cutting of cards and alike.
  • a high level of quality control is used to reduce or even take away any kind of card defects.
  • a playing card cartridge comprising a container adapted to couple to a card dispensing shoe.
  • the container defines a volume, and the container comprises a set of playing cards in the volume.
  • the volume of the container, hence the cartridge, is sealed by one or more seals.
  • a seal is a closure that must be broken to be opened and that thus reveals tampering.
  • the container being sealed hence means that the container cannot be opened without breaking at least one of the seals. When the container has been opened, this can always be noticed by the presence of at least one broken seal, traces of an opened seal, or by the fact the container itself is damaged, even broken.
  • the cartridge is adapted to couple to a card dispensing shoe.
  • the cartridge hence can be coupled to the card dispensing shoe without the need of any further device to link the cartridge and the card dispensing shoe, typically from a card dealing device.
  • the cartridge is adapted to couple to a card dispensing shoe, typically from a card dealing device, the dealer does not have to manipulate or have be in contact with the set of cards in the container in the period between receiving the cartridge at the playing table, and starting the game by dealing the cards from the cartridge. Even more, the cartridge can be sealed at the manufacturing facility where the set of cards is made and inserted in the cartridge. Hence nobody is to contact the cards of the set of cards during the transportation of the set of cards between manufacturer and playing table, during which period the cartridge stays sealed. As the cartridge is sealed, no one can have insight or can even touch or manipulate the cards during this transportation period.
  • the cartridge can be unsealed by removing at least one of the seals.
  • the cartridge is inserted in the card dispensing shoe, after which the cartridge is unsealed by removing at least one of the seals.
  • the seals used can be any kind of seal, such as security seal tape, or the cartridge can be sealed with lead and/or wax, or any combination of such seals.
  • the container can be provided from polymeric material, such as thermoplastic polymer like polypropylene (PP), or thermoset polymer like polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and mixtures thereof, such as PC/ABS mixtures.
  • the cartridge is composed from one or more injection molded pieces. Several walls or elements may be part of one injection molded piece.
  • the volume of the container may be provided by the combination of several walls, such as a bottom wall, two side walls, a back wall, a front wall and a top wall. One of the walls, preferably the front wall, is provided with an exit means to allow cards in the volume to be drawn out of the volume once the cartridge is unsealed.
  • the container may comprise a top wall, a bottom wall, two side walls, a back wall and a front wall, the bottom wall, two side walls and the back wall forming one integral piece, such as an injection molded piece.
  • the container may partially be transparent, i.e. some walls may be transparent, translucent, opaque or untransparent, either a part of this wall or the complete wall.
  • a playing card cartridge comprising a top wall, a front wall and side walls, the top wall being slidingly connected to the side walls and being adapted to slide towards the front wall, the top wall being prevented from sliding by at least a first seal.
  • the lower rim of the top wall being oriented towards the front wall and the upper rim of the front wall being oriented towards the top wall, the lower rim of the top wall may extend over the upper rim of the front wall.
  • the seal prevents any sliding of the top wall towards the front wall in view of the side walls to which it is slidingly engaged or connected.
  • the provision of the lower rim of the top wall extending over the upper rim of the front wall prevents cards to be slipped at a slit which may possibly be present along the contact of both rims. If the top wall is adapted to slide towards the back wall as well, this seal may prevent any sliding of the top wall towards the back wall in view of the side walls to which it is slidingly engaged or connected. In the alternative, if the top wall is adapted to slide towards the back wall as well, a first seal may prevent any sliding of the top wall towards the front wall, a second seal may prevent any sliding of the top wall towards the back wall.
  • Sliding towards the back wall may be used to free the space in the front end of the container in order to load the container with the set of cards to be played during manufacturing of the cartridge.
  • the cartridge being sealed hence means that the top wall covers the opening defined by the side walls and the front and back wall of the container in sealed condition. After unsealing the cartridge, the top wall may slide under particular conditions. The top wall, after unsealing the cartridge, may still be prevented from sliding towards the front wall and/or back wall in case the relevant seal or seals preventing sliding of the top wall is not removed or broken, even though cards can be removed from the cartridge. Or in the alternative, when the cartridge is coupled to a card dispensing shoe, the card dispensing shoe may hinder and prevent sliding of the top wall towards the front wall. In this case, optionally a second seal may prevent sliding of the top wall towards the back wall.
  • the upper rim of the top wall is oriented away from the front wall, a pushing means to push the playing cards towards the front end of the container is provided in the volume of the container, the cartridge comprises a stopping means to prevent the upper rim of the top wall to slide beyond the pushing means.
  • the upper rim of the top wall being oriented away from the front wall, a pushing means to push the playing cards towards the front end of the container being provided in the volume of the container, the top wall may comprise a stopping means to prevent the upper rim of the top wall to slide beyond the pushing means.
  • the pushing means may comprise a stopping means to prevent the upper rim of the top wall to slide beyond the pushing means.
  • the pushing means proceeds also forward in the cartridge.
  • a new volume is created.
  • the top wall may slide towards the front wall, opening the newly created volume behind the pushing means.
  • Dealt cards can be gathered and put in this newly created volume behind the pushing means.
  • the stopping means which may e.g. be an inwards projection on the top wall or an upwards projection on the pushing means, sliding in a recess in the top wall, will prevent the top wall to slide beyond the stopping means.
  • the inwards projection on the top wall may extend in the volume deeper than the upper side of the pushing means.
  • the projection may be adjacent the upper rim of the top wall, i.e. the rim closest to the back wall.
  • An upwards projection on the pushing means may slide in a recess in the top wall.
  • the recess may be all along the top wall in a direction from upper to lower rim of the top wall but ends before the upper rim of the top wall.
  • a playing card cartridge comprising a top wall and a front wall, the lower rim of the top wall being oriented towards the front wall, the front wall having a card exit means allowing cards to be taken out of the volume of the container when said cartridge being unsealed, at least the part of the inner surface of the top wall next to the lower rim is profiled for preventing a card different than the card being closest to the card exit means to be taken out of the cartridge via the card exit means.
  • a profiled surface such as a serrated surface
  • the serration or profile is provided with its projections and indentations substantially parallel to the lower rim of the top wall, i.e. the rill closest to the front wall.
  • a playing card cartridge wherein a pushing means to push the playing cards towards the front end of the container is provided in the volume of the container, the pushing means (or pusher) may be forced towards the front wall by means of a spring.
  • the spring may be a constant torque spring.
  • the constant torque spring may comprise a coil. Possibly the coil may be housed in the pushing means.
  • the constant torque spring such as a coil, can be located at the front end near the front wall of the container in the cartridge.
  • a pushing means is provided in the volume of the container, the pushing means comprising at least one wheel to displace the pushing means in the volume under the gravitational force when the cartridge is inserted in a card dispensing shoe.
  • the pushing means may be displaceable in the container by at least two wheels, one wheel at each side of pushing means, to displace the pushing means in this volume under the gravitational force when the cartridge is inserted in a card dispensing shoe.
  • the one or more wheels may be located at the lower side of the pushing means and rotate on the bottom wall of the container.
  • the container may comprise two side walls, the wheels contacting and running over a ridge at the inner surface of each of these side walls, one wheel at each side.
  • the wheels may be contacting and running in a recess at the inner surface of each of the side walls.
  • the container comprises two side walls
  • the pushing means may be displaceable in the container by at least two pairs of wheels, one pair of wheels at each side of pushing means, each of said wheels contacting and running over a ridge at the inner surface of each of the side walls.
  • the pushing means is displaceable in the container by at least two pairs of wheels, one pair of wheels at each side of pushing means, each of the wheels be contacting and running in a recess at the inner surface of each of the side walls
  • ridges or recesses may be slightly downwards inclined from the back wall to the front wall of the container. These ridges or recesses will guide the pushing means in its movement towards the front wall of the container when cards are drawn out of the cartridge.
  • a combination of a spring, like a constant torque spring, such as a coil, and such wheels or pair of wheels may be used as well, providing an improved and smoothly guided movement of the pushing means in the container, hence in the cartridge.
  • a playing card cartridge comprising a front wall, the front wall having a card exit means allowing cards to be taken out of the volume of the container when said cartridge being unsealed, the card of the set of playing cards being closest to the card exit means when the container is in sealed condition, may be sealed to the container by at least one seal.
  • the cartridge may comprise a closing lid closing the card exit means, the closing lid being sealed to the container by at least one seal.
  • the first card i.e. the card of the set of playing cards being closest to the card exit means when the cartridge is in sealed condition
  • the provision of a seal to this first card may provide a sealed cartridge at the exit means.
  • the provision of a lid closing the exit means however is more preferred as this provides a higher guarantee to the set of cards not being unauthorizedly touched.
  • a playing card cartridge wherein each of the cards may have a card identity code, the cartridge comprises a data storage means for storing information on the card identity codes of the cards of the set of playing cards held by the cartridge.
  • the data storage means may store information on the sequence of the cards in the set of playing cards held by the cartridge.
  • the playing cards in the cartridge each may have a card identity code, which can be a unique identity code.
  • the card identity code may comprise information on the rank and suite of the card, combined with a sequence of characters, optionally a random sequence of characters. It may be a binary code composed from 0 and 1, or it may be a string of characters. Characters are to be understood as characters chosen from the alphabet, the figures 0 to 9 , punctuation marks and special characters like &, @, #, ⁇ , $, £, €, any other ASCII character and alike.
  • the card identity code may be a unique card identity code.
  • a unique card identity does not refer to strict uniqueness but must be understood in the context of the invention, i.e. playing cards used in card games, such as in casinos.
  • An identity is unique if it is infeasible to find a second playing card having an identical card identity.
  • a card identity is unique if the possibility that a second playing card with the same card identity is found, is 1/100.000 or less, such as 1/1.000.000 or less, e.g. 1/10.000.000 or less.
  • the card identity code may be printed one or more times on the front side of each of the cards. It may be printed as a string of characters or as a binary code, or this string of characters or binary code may first be converted into a barcode, QR code or alike. According to some embodiments the card identity string or code may be printed using micro-dot encryption. The use of micro-dots to identify the rank and suit of cards on the face side of a card is known from US9254435 .
  • the card identity string or code might not be visible by the naked eye.
  • the card identity string or code may be visible, hence detectable, by UV illumination only, or by radiation with non-visible light of a given wavelength or wavelength range.
  • UV illumination sources such as LED UV illumination may be used to make the card identity string or code readable using an appropriate camera system
  • the data storage means which may e.g. be a SIM card or a micro SIM card or alike, may be integrated in the cartridge.
  • the card dealing device may have a data reading means which may be coupled to the data storage means when the cartridge is inserted in the card dealing device.
  • the data reading means of the card dealing device may read out the stored data.
  • the card dealing device when having a card reading means to read out the card identity code on the card, the read code can be compared with the card identity codes stored on the data storage means. If the read code does not match with one of the card identity codes stored on the data storage means, a fraudulent action may have taken place in view of the set of cards stored in the cartridge. An alarm may be generated if and when this occurs.
  • the data storage means comprises information on the sequence of the cards in the cartridge, an alarm may be generated if and when a card identity code is read which is different from the one next stored in the sequence in the data storage means.
  • the data storage means may as well be part of one of the seals used to seal the cartridge.
  • the broken seal may be adapted to be inserted into a reading device, which reading device will read the stored data.
  • the cartridge may be provided with a cartridge identity code.
  • the cartridge identity code may be a concatenation of defined groups of characters taken from each of the cards, in the sequence the cards are present in the set of cards in the volume of the cartridge. As such, comparing a sequence of parts of the cartridge identity code with parts of the card identity code in the sequence they are drawn from the cartridge may reveal incorrect card order or incorrect cards being drawn from the cartridge. This again may be an indication of a fraudulent action having taken place in view of the set of cards stored in the cartridge.
  • a playing card cartridge wherein the cartridge may comprise a track and trace means.
  • This track and trace means may provide information on the place where the cartridge is present at any given moment in time.
  • a cartridge identity code may be used to identify the cartridge in such track and trace means.
  • a method to play a card game comprising
  • the seals are removed before the cartridge is used in a card game, i.e. before the first card is drawn via the card dealing shoe from the cartridge. Possibly the seals are removed prior to coupling the playing card cartridge to the card dealing shoe. Alternatively, some seals are kept in place and are removed only after the cartridge is used and optionally recycled. Once the game is ended, the cartridge is removed again from the card dealing shoe. As the used cartridge is typically send back to a restricted area of the casino, and the cartridge still may comprise a number of unused, i.e. undrawn cards, the used cartridge may be sealed again with new seals, in order to prevent unauthorised access to the unused cards.
  • the playing card cartridge is a playing card cartridge according to the first particular facet of the first general aspect of the invention, the method further comprises
  • dealt cards may be gathered and kept together.
  • the used cards may be placed behind the pushing means by opening the volume of the cartridge behind the pushing means. As such, the used cards may be sent back in their entirety to the restricted area of the casino.
  • the cartridge, once the used cards are placed behind the pushing means, is closed again, and may be sealed with new seals. As such, used cards can be counted in the restricted area and missing dealt cards can be identified. Removing or holding back a dealt card may be a source of fraudulent activity as well.
