An inspection system of a chip includes a reading device and a determining unit. The reading device is configured to count a number of chips stored in a storage case, the chips associated with a table game and including a chip having a radio tag, read the radio tag while the chips are stored in the storage case, and acquire chip information. The determining unit is configured to compare the chip information of the chips in the storage case with a physical number of the chips in the storage case, determine that there is an abnormal chips among the chips stored in the storage case based on a determination that the counted number of the chips does not match a physical number of the chips in the storage case, and output a result associated with an indication of the abnormal chip.

A system and method for hosting and managing a live game are disclosed which includes a live gaming table for live players and a live dealer. In an embodiment an application configures a player's mobile device to receive an invitation from a casino to play the table game based upon the player being, based upon location aware technology, being in or near the casino. Accepting the invention permits the player to reserve a position at the gaming table and displays a machine readable code at the player's mobile device. The player positions at the gaming table include video display and player input devices (VDPIDs) and a code reader to read the displayed code and access the player's electronic account. Using the VDPID the player may convert between electronic funds and physical gaming chips, participate in video bonus event play and back-bet on other players.

In accordance with some embodiments, an RFID-enabled table game system provides for determining whether there is a variance between an expected balance of inventory and an actual balance of inventory in a game element container. If a variance is detected, the RFID-enabled game system may identify at least one characteristic associated with an RFID-enabled game element that is determined to be a source of the variance (e.g., a player position at which the RFID-enabled game element had last been detected, a denomination or value of the game element, and/or an identifier associated with the game element). In some embodiments, an alert may be output to game provider personnel (e.g., a dealer of a card game) at the end of a game play when such a variance is detected, thus allowing the variance to be corrected in an efficient and timely manner.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for obtaining sample images, and electronic devices. The method includes: acquiring images of stacked bodies, where the stacked bodies in different images have different item information, and the item information comprises: an attribute and a stacking mode of a stacked body; and taking an acquired image as a sample image when the acquired image meets an image quality condition.

A detection system including a control device detecting fraud performed in a game table by using a result of an image analysis performed by an image analyzing device. A substitute currency for gaming used for this detection system has a multi-layer structure in which a plurality of plastic layers having different colors are stacked, a coloring layer is included at least in the middle, and white layers or thin-color layers (may be layers having a color thinner than that of the coloring layer; not illustrated in the drawing) are stacked on both sides of the coloring layer disposed in the middle.

In accordance with some embodiments, a game table such as a smart baccarat table may be equipped with one or more detecting components (e.g., an RFID antenna, an NFC antenna or an optical reader) to identify gaming elements placed in a certain area of the smart table that a dealer of the table places gaming elements into when conducting a transaction. A specific type of transaction may be automatically inferred by the game table, without a dealer specifically requesting an initiation of a mode or process for the type of transaction, based on statuses of the gaming elements detected within the area. For example, a Change Transaction may be inferred upon the game table determining that both inventory and non-inventory game elements are present within the area of the table at the same time.

A system includes a smart table at which a wagering game is provided RFID-enabled chips and RFID sensors configured to detect the presence of RFID-enabled chips. The smart table includes a dealer scratchpad for detecting a value of RFID-enabled chips within a scratchpad area on the smart table. The smart table includes a ticket reader and a processor configured to scan, with the ticket reader, a voucher presented by a player, the voucher is redeemable for a voucher value, determine the voucher value of the voucher in response to the scanning, display, to a dealer of the wagering game at the smart table, a confirmation that the player is entitled to receive the voucher value, detect, from the RFID sensor, a chip value within the scratchpad area, compare the chip value to the voucher value, and display, to the dealer, a confirmation that the chip value matches the voucher value.

A system includes a smart table for providing a wagering game to one or more players. The smart table includes a table management device operable by a dealer, and the smart table defines a plurality of player positions. The system also includes a processor configured to open a wagering window. The wagering window defines a period of time during which at least one primary player is enabled to place a primary wager and during which at least one secondary player is enabled to place a secondary wager. The instructions also cause the processor to close the wagering window in response to expiration of the period of time, and resolve the primary wager for the primary player and the secondary wager for the secondary player in response to closing the wagering window and based upon an outcome of the wagering game.
