Abstract
A card reader for a blackjack table comprised of a card reading device and a housing therefor, said housing attachable to the blackjack table. The card reading device has associated therewith a light source, a power source for energizing said light source, and a platform coplanar with said blackjack table defining an aperture for reading a portion of a face-down playing card. Said aperture is covered partially by a cover to minimize the opportunity of black jack players other than the dealer to view the portion of the card being inspected. A reflective surface is disposed generally below said aperture to reflect the portion of the face-down card being read through the non-covered portion of the aperture to reveal to the dealer any indicia on the portion of the face down card being read. There is also disclosed herein a method for increasing the speed of play in an organized game of blackjack.
