Electric gambling machine for dealing cards randomly

Abstract

An electric gambling machine is designed to randomly deal cards, particularly pokers, so that a player may select at his own discretion the dealing mechanism in the machine to deal cards and the sheets of cards to be dealt to ensure the fairness of the game with the gambling machine. The electric gambling machine for dealing cards randomly mainly includes a game unit and a dealing unit having at least one card dealing mechanism. The game unit and the dealing unit are connected via a signal line to allow the player to select one or more card dealing mechanisms to deal cards via control of select buttons on the game unit. Therefore, the cards can be dealt randomly without being completely controlled by a computer program, making the game fair to play.
