A method of delivering cards from a card housing unit during a card game including automatically detecting, using one or more processors, at least one of a card being held within an opening in the card housing unit for a period of time longer than a predetermined period of time or an attempt to manually draw a card from the opening after the card game ends, and based on the automatic detection, controlling, using one or more processors, operation of a lock member to restrict movement of the card relative to the opening in the card housing unit.

1. A method of delivering cards from a card shooter during a card game and determining a result of the card game, comprising: automatically reading, using one or more processors, numbers of the cards as the cards are sequentially taken out from the card shooter and delivered to a player or a banker;
1. A method of delivering cards from a card shooter during a card game and determining a result of the card game, comprising: automatically reading, using one or more processors, numbers of the cards as the cards are sequentially taken out from the card shooter and delivered to a player or a banker;storing results of the reading so as to track progress of the card game based on the numbers of the cards delivered to the player and the banker and rules of the card game;determining, using a set of card detecting optical sensors of a group of sensors located on one or more card guide rails of the card shooter, whether or not there is an improper and/or impermissible attitude of a card of the cards, wherein the improper and/or impermissible attitude is determined according to results of detection of the card in the one or more card guide rails by the card detecting optical sensors;on a condition that the improper and/or impermissible attitude of the card is determined, generating, using the one or more processors, a signal indicating the improper and/or impermissible attitude of the card;detecting, using another set of card detecting optical sensors of the group of sensors located on the one or more card guide rails, whether or not there is an irregularity in a shuffling of the cards; andon a condition that the shuffling irregularity is detected, generating, using the one or more processors, a signal indicating the shuffling irregularity. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of activating, using the one or more processors and based on the signal indicating the improper and/or impermissible attitude and/or the signal indicating the shuffling irregularity, a card lock member to restrict movement of the card so as to prevent the automatic reading of a number of the card. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the set of card detecting optical sensors include a first card detecting optical sensor. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the set of card detecting optical sensors includes a second card detecting optical sensor. 5. A table game system comprising: a plurality of playing cards, each of the playing cards including an invisible code representing at least a number of the card;a card shooter comprising: a card housing for containing the playing cards;a card guide unit that guides the playing cards one by one from the card housing;one or more readers that read the invisible code from each card of the playing cards guided by the card guide unit; andcard detecting optical sensors arranged on one or more card guide rails of the card guide unit;one or more processors; anda non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions that are read by the one or more processors to perform a method comprising the steps of: automatically reading numbers of the playing cards as the playing cards are sequentially taken out from the card shooter and delivered to a player or a banker;storing results of the reading so as to track progress of the card game based on the numbers of the playing cards delivered to the player and the banker and rules of the card game;determining, using a set of the card detecting optical sensors, whether or not there is an improper and/or impermissible attitude of a card of the playing cards guided by the card guiding unit, wherein the improper and/or impermissible attitude is determined according to results of detection of the card in the one or more card guide rails by the card detecting optical sensors;on a condition that the improper and/or impermissible attitude of the card is determined, generating a signal indicating the improper and/or impermissible attitude of the card;detecting, using another set of the card detecting optical sensors, whether or not there is an irregularity in a shuffling of the cards; andon a condition that shuffling irregularity is detected, generating, using the one or more processors, a signal indicating the shuffling irregularity;wherein the card housing, the card guide unit, the one or more readers, the card detecting optical sensors, the one or more processors, the non-transitory computer readable medium and a display unit are an integrated unit adapted for placement on a game table. 6. The table game system according to claim 5, further comprising a card lock member, wherein the method further comprises the step of activating the card lock member, based on the signal indicating the improper and/or impermissible attitude and/or the signal indicating the shuffling irregularity, to restrict movement of the card so as to prevent the automatic reading of a number of the card. 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the set of card detecting optical sensors include a first card detecting optical sensor. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the set of card detecting optical sensors includes a second card detecting optical sensor.
