Abstract

Systems and methods for the automatic recognition of playing cards for casino-type card games. The systems include an automatic card-recognition system, an electronic card data processor or processors which allow automatic collection, storage and hand ranking of historic and current card and player information, and statistical entry, analysis and retrieval systems. When used in the television industry, the invention provides multiple graphics generator interfaces, allowing television broadcasters to immediately generate and display computer-generated graphics detailing current hand and potential win percentage information, as well as historical or summary graphics information, for use in a live or post-produced television broadcast.
