Management system and management method for packages of shuffled playing cards

A management system for managing packages of shuffled playing cards, the management system comprising:

• packages of shuffled playing cards in which playing cards including a predetermined number of decks are shuffled in random order and are packed individually as one package and to which unique ID codes are attached;
• a game table configured to play a game using the shuffled playing cards;
• a card shooter device which is arranged on the game table, receives the shuffled playing cards in the packages, enables the shuffled playing cards to be manually fed one by one at the game table, and reads at least ranks of the playing cards;
• a storage box which is installed on the game table, stores the packages, and includes an opening/closing cover which allows the packages to be taken out one by one;
• one or more ID code readers which read ID codes of all of the packages stored in the storage box as ID codes of packages before use;
• a registration device of an ID code which registers ID codes of the packages being taken out or having been taken out from the storage box, as taken out packages;
• and
• a management control device which includes a memory storing ID codes of the plurality of packages brought into the storage box and constructing a database and reads the ID codes of the plurality of packages brought into the storage box at predetermined time intervals, confirms existence of each ID code registered in the database in the storage box to determine the package removed from the storage box, and manages the ID codes of the packages before the use and ID codes of the taken out packages by comparing the ID code of the package removed from the storage box with the ID code registered as the taken out package by the registration device.
