ABSTRACT:
An imaging device of the present invention utilized for game cards or the like, comprises a passive compliant card scanner having a wide acceptance angle configured for easy insertion of cards. A code sensor is mounted within the passive compliant card scanner and is adapted to read binary zones identifying a code, even when the binary zones are misaligned relative to the code sensor, when the card is fully inserted into the passive compliant card scanner. The passive compliant card scanner has a high tolerance for the position and condition in which the card is inserted. In addition, the imaging device comprises a validation sensor, configured to prevent fraudulent play by a retailer or the like, to pick out winning game cards. The validation sensor is coupled to a voice unit and is adapted to actuate the voice unit to announce a message, upon detecting improper play.
