Abstract: A card game simulator simulates a card game by means of a set of hand displays, which may be seen only by one player at a time, and a set of corresponding play displays, which may be seen by all players. Each hand display includes a set of light emitting diodes which are lit to indicate the cards held by the hand simulated by that display. Cards are played by placing a photosensing probe against an activated light emitting diode, which action causes the corresponding play display to indicate the playing of the card corresponding to the light emitting diode sensed by the photosensor. The light emitting diode in the hand display is then de-activated. The invention as disclosed is adapted for simulating a game of bridge, and the circuitry for the simulator includes a recirculating hand memory for cyclic sequential readout of fifty-two hand codes and a recirculating trick memory for cyclic sequential readout of fifty-two trick codes. The two memories recirculate in synchronism, and the output codes correspond respectively to hand assignments and trick assignments for the fifty-two cards in a standard bridge deck. Cards are indicated on the hand displays and play displays in accordance with the hand codes and trick codes read out from the hand memory and the trick memory. Hand codes may be loaded into the hand memory in a random sequence for simulating a standard game of bridge, or they may be loaded in a predetermined sequence from a programming unit for playing duplicate or team bridge.

Abstract translation: 纸牌游戏模拟器通过一组手表显示器来模拟纸牌游戏，该手牌显示器一次只能由一个玩家看到，并且可以由所有玩家看到一组相应的游戏显示器。 每只手显示器包括一组发光二极管，其被点亮以指示由该显示器模拟的手持有的卡。 通过将光敏探头放置在激活的发光二极管上来进行卡片，该动作使相应的播放显示指示对应于由光电传感器感测到的发光二极管的卡片的播放。 手表中的发光二极管然后被去激活。 所公开的本发明适用于模拟桥接游戏，并且用于模拟器的电路包括用于循环连续读出五十二个手码的循环手存储器和用于循环连续读出五十二个特技代码的循环特技存储器。 两个存储器同步再循环，输出代码分别对应于标准桥接卡板中的五十二张卡的手指定和技巧分配。 手牌上显示卡片，根据从手存储器和特技记忆体读出的手写码和特技代码播放显示器。 手代码可以以随机顺序加载到手存储器中，用于模拟桥的标准游戏，或者可以从用于播放重复或团队桥的编程单元以预定顺序加载手代码。
