    摘要: A table game system is provided that includes a plurality of association tables, each of which makes it possible to obtain the correlation between codes attached to shuffled playing cards and the ranks thereof, and prevents the correlation between the codes of the shuffled playing cards and the ranks thereof from being known by a person who intends to commit cheating by changing the association table used as appropriate. A card shoe apparatus of the table game system of the present invention includes a barcode reader that reads a barcode attached to a shuffled playing card set, and thereby reads a shuffled card ID that can uniquely identify the shuffled playing card set. The shuffled card ID of the shuffled playing cards to be used is subjected to a process of association to identify one of association table numbers or database numbers, and the rank and the suit of a card that are attached to the card are identified based on a code with an association table. If the code does not match a code defined in the association table, an error occurs and it is determined that cheating may be committed.
