METHOD FOR DISPENSING OF PLAYING CARDS (VERSIONS) AND APPARATUR FOR PERFORMING THE SAME (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A63F1/02 A63F1/06 

FIELD: table games, in particular, card playing game.

SUBSTANCE: according to first version, method involves preparing multiplicity of carriers; applying signs onto each carrier so that each carrier becomes playing card due to said signs determining identity of each playing card, with each sign to be applied onto said carriers being arbitrarily obtained or selected; introducing carriers into game for usage as playing cards; removing signs from carriers to provide repeated usage of the latter. According to second version, method involves applying signs so as to provide for temporal displaying of cards. Apparatus, according to first version, has storage for storing multiplicity of carriers, means for arbitrary obtaining or selecting signs for applying onto selected carrier; means for applying of said signs onto each of said carriers, to thereby make each carrier playing card, with applied signs determining identity of playing cards, means for introducing of carriers having indicated signs into card game, and means for removal of said signs from carriers, to thereby provide the possibility of repeated usage of the latter. Apparatus, according to second version, is designed so that indicated signs are displayed temporarily. Method for repeated usage of playing cards involves preparing multiplicity of carriers capable of remembering signs determining identity of playing card, with signs remembered by respective carriers being arbitrarily obtained or selected; activating respective carriers for displaying of respective arbitrarily obtained or selected signs so that each carrier becomes playing card; removing indicated signs from carriers so that indicated carriers may be repeatedly used. Apparatus for dispensing and repeated usage of playing cards has storage for storing multiplicity of carriers capable of remembering signs and determining identity of playing card, means for applying onto indicated carriers of arbitrarily obtained or selected signs so that each carrier defines playing card, and means for removal of applied signs from carriers. Signs are formed so as to be temporarily displayed on carriers, which are capable of perceiving respective various signs, by means of which indicated carriers may define various playing cards.

EFFECT: increased efficiency of method and apparatus due to complicated remembering by players of playing cards.
