Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1(a) and 1(b) are perspective views of packaging boxes for packaging shuffle playing cards according to Embodiment 1. FIG. The packaging box 2 for the shuffled playing cards 1 is a cube having six sides including a front side 3, a rear side 4, a left side 5 and a right side 6, a top side 7 and a bottom side 8 so as to wrap the shuffled playing cards 1 in an assembled state. have a shape. The packaging box 2 is provided with zippers 11 having zipper-like cut lines 10 parallel to the longitudinal direction (arrow L) of the cubic shape at two locations at predetermined intervals, and is partitioned by the zippers 11 at the two locations. A central band 12 is provided in the central portion. The central band 12 is colored so that it can be easily distinguished from other parts (coloring is omitted in FIGS. 1 to 4). Although the details will be described later, by removing the two zippers 11 along the cut line 10 consisting of the zipper line and the straight slit 13, the left and right sides 5 and 6 of the packaging box 2 are removed and the shuffled playing cards 1 are formed. Both sides are exposed. As a modified example, the zipper 11 can be changed to a cut-out portion in which the cut line 10 is cut off with a thread or the like.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which both side surfaces 1s of the shuffle shuffle playing card 1 are exposed. The shuffle playing card 1 is composed of a predetermined number of decks. For example, the shuffle playing card 1 of eight decks is composed of 416 cards. After being housed in a packaging box 2 that wraps the game, it is sealed with a sealing material or a shrink-like packaging material and supplied to a casino or the like. It should be noted that a bar code (which also serves as a sticker) 14 with a different ID code (identification code) is affixed to the packaging box 1 containing each shuffle playing card 1. FIG. The shuffled playing cards 1 are shuffled and each has a different card arrangement and are unique, and the ID code is expressed in the bar code 14 or QRP code and used for identification.

Next, a method of storing the shuffled playing cards 1 in the shooter 15 used in a casino or the like will be described with reference to FIGS. When the shuffle playing cards 1 are stored in the card shooter 15 used in a casino or the like, the zipper 11 is removed along the cut line 10 such as the zipper line as described above, and the left and right sides 5 and 6 of the packaging box 2 are removed. After exposing both sides 1s of the shuffled playing cards 1, as shown in FIGS. The cards are stored in a card storage section 16 of a card shooter 15 for playing games. The detailed steps are described below.

In the packaging box 2 containing the shuffle playing cards 1, the order (1) to (3) for removing the zippers 11 is printed (indicated by circled numbers) on each zipper 11, as shown in FIG. . According to this order, as shown in 1 in FIG. 6, the left side of the zipper 11 is first removed, and the left side 5 of the packaging box 2 is removed to expose one side of the shuffle playing cards 1 inside the packaging box 2. (first side exposure step). This first side exposure step may further comprise a card cutting step of inserting a cut card 17 into the shuffled playing cards 1 for stopping the use of the shuffled playing cards 1 in the casino. FIG. 4 shows the state of the card cutting step. When inserting the cut card 17 into the shuffle playing card 1, the player (customer) of the casino is asked to insert it, so if the index 100 of the card 1 at the insertion position is visible when inserting the cut card 17, there is a risk of fraud. There is Therefore, when inserting the cut cards 17, the shuffled playing cards 1 are stored in the storage box 2 in advance so that the side of the shuffled playing cards 1 where the index is not printed (upper left of the upper surface 7) faces up. (See Figure 4). The order of removing the zippers 11 is designated by the number printed on each zipper 11 so that the cut card 17 can be inserted into the exposed left side 1s of the shuffle playing card 1.例文帳に追加

Next, as shown in description numbers 2 to 3 in FIG. 6, the other side of the zipper 11 of the packaging box 2 is removed in order (2) and (3), and the right side of the packaging box 2 is removed. 6 is removed to expose both sides of the shuffled playing cards 1 in the packaging box 2, and the shuffled playing cards 1 are wrapped only by the central band 12 (second side exposing step) (see FIG. 2). Next, as indicated by the descriptive number 4 in FIG. 6, the back corner of the central belt 12 is pinched and the shuffled playing cards 1 are lifted together with the central belt 12 (lifting step). With the shuffled playing cards 1 together with the central belt 12 lifted, the shuffled playing cards 1 and the central belt 12 are stored in the card storage part 16 of the card shooter 15 as shown in FIG. 5 (storage step for storing).

A bar code 14 of an ID code (bar code, etc.) is left in the central band 12. Since it is designed to remain, the central band 12 is left without being discarded, and when the shuffled playing cards 1 are collectively discarded after using the game, the discarded cards are put into the discarding carton bag of the shuffled playing cards 1, When discarded with a central band 12 attached with a barcode 14 of an ID code (such as a barcode), the shuffle playing card 1 can be individually managed by reading the barcode 14 with a reader (not shown). This is advantageous because it can be performed by a computer or the like in conjunction with the storage of 15 cards.

In the first embodiment, the upper surface 7 of the packaging box 2 indicates that it is the upper surface (UPPER) and indicates the direction of the shuffle playing cards 1 when they are inserted into the card storage section 16 (the shuffle playing cards 1 Since the card has an arrow 19 indicating the front and the back, the storage direction in the card shooter 15 can be performed without fail. When the shuffle playing cards 1 are stored in the card shooter 15, they are normally stored so that the back pattern of the card faces the front. Further, a mark (mark 20) is printed on the central band 12 of the packaging box 2 to indicate the place to be picked up and lifted, so that the place to be lifted can be easily found.

The shuffled playing cards used in the table game, the storage box for the shuffled playing cards, and the method for storing the shuffled playing cards in the card shooter according to the present invention facilitate handling of the shuffled playing cards of a plurality of decks and can be stored in the card shooter without error.
