Apparatus, system, method, and computer-readable medium for casino card handling with multiple hand recall feature
First Claim
1. A method for tracking and dealing cards using a card-handling device, the method comprising:
- inserting cards into internal compartments of the card-handling device;
generating a record of card information, using a processor of the card-handling device, indicating a rank and a suit for each card inserted into the internal compartments;
generating a record of compartment information, using the processor of the card-handling device, indicating a compartment identifier for each card inserted into the internal compartments; and
associating, using the processor of the card-handling device, the compartment information with the previously uncorrelated card information after at least one card is removed from the card-handling device.

Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for detecting, storing, and retrieving information about the composition of present and past hands of cards in a casino table game. The method includes causing a card-handling device to substantially automatically generate a plurality of hands wherein each hand includes one or more cards. Card information is identified that includes a rank and a suit of each card as each card moves through the card-handling device. A play history is maintained of a card composition of more than one round wherein the card composition of each round includes the cards in each hand of each round. The card information of at least one hand from at least one round may be displayed.

11. A card-handling system, comprising:
-
a card-handling device including internal compartments; a card recognition system; and at least one processor operably coupled with the card-handling system and the card recognition system, the at least one processor configured to; assign each internal compartment with a compartment identifier; cause the card-handling device to insert cards into corresponding internal compartments; detect card information for the cards using the card recognition system; and associate the compartment identifiers and the card information for the cards after at least one card is dispensed from the card-handling device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A card-handling system, comprising:
-
a card-handling device including internal compartments; a card recognition system; and at least one processor operably coupled with the card-handling system and the card recognition system, the at least one processor configured to; control a distribution of cards into the internal compartments of the card-handling device; track the distribution of cards according to a first process to determine which card is distributed within each internal compartment; determine card information with the card recognition system and track the card information for each card according to a second process separate from the first process; associate the card information for each card with the compartment information after at least one card is dispensed from the card-handling device. - View Dependent Claims (20)
