2. Basic information about Dealer4+
The Dealer4+ (PlayBridgeDealer4+) design is based on the standard model of the Dealer4
(PlayBridgeDealer4) which has been manufactured for the last few years with proven quality and
reliability. The main improvement with the Dealer4+ is the implementation of the Front Display. This
display allows the user to control the dealing process and thus deal cards without a PC connected. This
can be especially useful for small clubs which may have only one computer, thus allowing it to be used
for other tasks during dealing. It is also very useful for large events when several machines are in use. In
such cases, multiple computers are no longer required.
Please note that the Dealer4+ does not eliminate the need for a PC to prepare deals. A computer is still
required to generate boards, analyze and print hand records - but the dealing process can now be
performed without a PC connected.
2.1. Start up
The Dealer4+ requires a power supply (provided with the machine) connected to mains outlet and to the
power input connecter of the machine.
