Abstract

Card shoes, systems and methods for determining a dealer's hand status are disclosed. An image of a last dispensed card captured by an image sensor in a card shoe is analyzed. A value of the card is determined by evaluating the image. A dealer's hand status is indicated on a notification element. In another method, the beginning of a round and a number of cards dealt is determined. A dealer's hand value is determined by determining a value of the last card dealt in the round and a value of a first dealer card dealt in the hand. Determining card values is performed by analyzing an image of the cards captured by an image sensor in a card shoe. Finally, the method includes notification of the dealer's hand status.
