[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A system for monitoring play of a card game between a dealer and one or more players at a playing table, comprising:(a) a card-dispensing shoe comprising one or more active card-recognition sensors positioned to generate signals corresponding to transitions between substantially light background and dark pip areas as standard playing cards are dispensed from the card-dispensing shoe, without generating a bit-mapped image of each dispensed standard playing card; and(b) a signal processing subsystem adapted to:receive the transition signals generated by the active card-recognition sensors;determine, in real time and based on the transition signals, playing-card values for the dispensed standard playing cards; anddetermine, in real time, a current table statistical advantage/disadvantage relative to the players for playing cards remaining in the card-dispensing shoe.
