1 Dealer4 Card Optical Recognition System
The Dealer4 uses an Optical Recognition System to recognize card symbols and suits to direct cards into
the right pocket. ORS consists of a small Video Camera which captures a picture of the card, LED
illumination, and a build in DSP processor with recognition software.
2 Recognition operation and errors
The Recognition System is design to correctly recognize a card in the most cases. However in some
particular situations Dealer4 cannot correctly recognize a card. In such cases Card Recognize Errors or
Duplicate Card Errors are reported. In normal conditions these errors should not happen more
frequently then 1 per 100 boards dealt. Next paragraphs described possible error reasons and the
actions that should be taken:
2.1 Card Recognize Error
Card Recognize Error (Error codes 26 – 53) is reported when the Dealer4 cannot recognize the card. This
error can be caused by following reasons:
1. Card in the hopper is inserted reversely (face up)
Reverse the card and try to recognize it again (click “Continue” or press START key on the front of the
machine).
2. JOKER is mixed into deck
