    摘要: A card shoe accommodates card decks and includes an opening for manual card withdrawal and a reader. A feeder includes a mechanism, not operated for the manual withdrawal, that feeds the cards from the opening, with the reader reading the fed card's rank; and a controller operating the mechanism to automatically feed all cards in the shoe when use of the decks ends according to a game rule. A control unit calculates a number of cards for each of the ranks based on the read ranks, calculates a total number by adding a number of sheets for each rank of cards manually withdrawn before the end of the deck's use and a number of sheets for each rank of cards fed by the feeder after the end of the deck's use, and compares the total number with a number of cards for each rank that should be in the decks.
