Card game system and method of a table game
A table game system capable of providing a table game to provide a chance to bet more higher paid off odds and additional wagering opportunities during the play in a way that is not complicated is provided. The set of shuffled decks of playing cards 1 s has a different card arrangement orders due to shuffling, and thus, each set is unique. Therefore, in order to identify each set, an ID code is used in the form of a bar code 5 or a QR (quick response) code. The set of shuffled decks of playing cards 1 s has a special card 1 a which has been packaged together with other normal cards 1 of the shuffled decks of playing cards is in one package in a factory (see FIG. 1 ( b )). FIG. 1 ( b ) shows a state in which the packing box 4 is exposed partially and contains a special card 1 a.
1. A set of cards comprising:
a plurality of normal playing cards numbered with numbers by which a win is determined in a game; and
one or more special cards being different from the normal playing cards, wherein:
the one or more special cards have an invisible specific code or mark that interacts with a sensor of a card distributing device, thereby triggering the card distributing device to increase a win total assigned to the win by the card distributing device; and
the cards, including the plurality of normal playing cards and the one or more special cards, are packed and sealed together in a randomly shuffled order.
2. The set of cards according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more special cards indicate to increase the win total when the at least one special card of the one or more special cards is included among a dealt subset of the plurality of normal playing cards with which the win is associated by the card distributing device.
3. The set of cards according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more special cards comprise a cut card configured to indicate to stop playing with the set of cards.
4. The set of cards according to claim 1 , wherein a number of the one or more special cards included in the set of cards is between two and ten.
5. The set of cards according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more special cards are positioned in a package in which the set of cards are packed and sealed, at a top or a bottom one of the cards in the package.
6. The set of cards according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more special cards are positioned in a package in which the set of cards are packed and sealed, within 100 cards from a bottom of the package.
7. The set of cards according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a package surrounding, and in which are packed and sealed, the plurality of normal playing cards and the one or more special cards, wherein the package includes an ID code that indicates a position of the one or more special cards within and relative to the package.
8. The set of cards according to claim 1 , wherein:
each of the normal playing cards includes rank and suit identifiers, and
the specific code or mark indicates status as a special card.
9. The set of cards according to claim 1 , wherein:
the one or more special cards include multiple types of special cards;
the specific code or mark indicates a type of special card of the multiple types of special cards;
the multiple types of special cards include two or more of the following three types: (1) a playing card, (2) a non-playing card, and (3) a cut card.
10. A card pack comprising:
a plurality of normal cards that are in a randomly shuffled order and that are numbered with numbers by which a win is determined in a game;
one or more special cards that are different from the plurality of normal playing cards, are arranged among the randomly shuffled plurality of normal playing cards, and each has an invisible code that interacts with a sensor of a card distributing device, thereby triggering the card distributing device to increase a win total assigned to the win by the card distributing device; and
a package surrounding the shuffled plurality of normal playing cards having the one or more special cards arranged among the shuffled plurality of normal playing cards.
11. The card pack according to claim 10 , wherein:
the code comprises a plurality of marks arranged in a pattern; and
the plurality of normal playing cards have a first arrangement prior to being randomly shuffled and have a second arrangement after being randomly shuffled.
12. The card pack according to claim 10 , wherein the package includes an ID code that indicates a relative positional arrangement of the plurality of normal playing cards and the one or more special cards relative to the package.
13. The card pack according to claim 10 , wherein the cards of the package are configured to be dealt from the card distributing device without shuffling after opening the package.
14. The set of cards according to claim 1 , wherein the set of cards includes a plurality of decks packed and sealed in a single package.
15. The set of cards according to claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more special cards does not have a rank and does not have a suit.
16. The set of cards according to claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more special cards is not a playing card.
17. The set of cards according to claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more special cards includes a number by which the win is determinable.
18. A card game system comprising:
a set of cards that includes a plurality of normal playing cards and one or more special cards that are different than the plurality of normal playing cards, wherein each of the normal playing cards and each of the one or more special cards includes a respective invisible code; and
a card distributor that is configured to house the set of cards, from which a portion of the set of cards are distributable during a game to provide a plurality of game sets, wherein the card distributor includes:
a sensor;
a mechanical distributor;
an output configured to output a win total assigned by the card distributor to the win; and
a processor that is configured to, based on numbers represented by markings of subsets of the set of cards that are distributed by the mechanical distributor during a game, associate one of the subsets with a win;
wherein the one or more special cards each includes a specific code or mark that interacts with the sensor of the card distributor, thereby triggering the card distributor to increase the win total assigned by the card distributor to the win.
19. The card game system according to claim 18 , wherein the card distributor is configured to respond to the specific code or mark to increase the win total conditional on that any of the one or more special cards is part of the subset of cards and is used by the processor to identify the subset as being associated with the win.
20. A set of cards comprising:
a plurality of normal playing cards;
one or more special cards being different from the normal playing cards; and

21. The set of cards according to claim 1 , wherein the increase is by an increase amount and the card distributing device is configured to set the increase amount that is based on the specific code or mark only for the win determined based on the numbers with which the plurality of normal playing cards are numbered.
