This project aims to replicate this strategy using computer vision.

## Model
The computer vision model used in this project is [YOLOV8s](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics), which is custom trained with this [playing card dataset](https://universe.roboflow.com/augmented-startups/playing-cards-ow27d/dataset/3) from Roboflow.
**This project is inspired by:** [Poker Hand Detector](https://youtu.be/WgPbbWmnXJ8?si=L3i7tUnto4e-ugpT&t=11180) & [21 (The Movie)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_(2008_film))
