Smart Poker Table
·
Timo Denk
Our “Smart Poker Table” detects the players’ cards as well as the community cards. It computes the winning probabilities for each player, according to the rules of Texas Hold’em, and renders them onto a screen.
Team members. Felix Starke, Tobias Robl, Pascal Meßner, and Timo Denk
Technical details. The software that reads the RFID readers is written in Node.js and C++. It makes API calls to a Java application that computes the probabilities. The UI itself is connected the Node.js backend through socket.io.
Music. Bazanji – Life I Chose, inspired by Daniel Negreanu.
