6 Thursday, September 26, 2013 THE HAWK™ INTELLIGENT SHOE: THE PERFECT COMPLEMENT TO EZ BACCARAT™ The Hawk Intelligent Baccarat Shoe is the perfect addition for your EZ Baccarat game. The Hawk shoe connects to your EZ Trak™ baccarat tracking board, reads the cards as they are dealt, and automatically updates the board with the results of each hand. This increases game speed and tracking accuracy. "Card freedom is the centerpiece of the Hawk shoe," noted David Jacques, DEQ's Chief Technology Officer. "Designed to be supplier independent, the Hawk can be used with a variety of traditional baccarat card face styles." Indicator lights on the top of the shoe clearly indicate a Dragon 7™ or Panda 8™ winner for pit staff and surveillance. Additionally, a hand results indicator lights up to match the color of a banker win, a player win, or a tie. Other security features available with the Hawk include displaying the cards for each hand on the EZ Trak sign, in the exact order the cards were pulled from the shoe. Do you operate a squeeze game?
