ABSTRACT:
The device for simulating a card game played between a number of players and especially a game of bridge comprises a case provided on the front face with luminous information panels corresponding to the number of players and each having a number of card positions corresponding to the number of cards held by a player at the beginning of a game. Any predetermined combination of cards corresponding to any predetermined deal is displayed on each panel. The information loaded in each card position is modified individually in order to indicate that the corresponding card has been played. Playing means comprise a first set of control keys each corresponding to one panel, a second set of control keys each corresponding to one card position and an address coding register connected to both sets of keys in order to define a played card by means of its information panel and its position on the panel.
