A detection system according to the present invention includes a control device detecting fraud performed in a game table by using a result of an image analysis performed by an image analyzing device, and 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) are stacked on both sides of the coloring layer disposed in the middle. A multi-layer structure, in which a coloring layer is included, and white layers or thin-color layers (the layers may be layers of a color that is thinner than that of the coloring layer) are stacked on both sides of the coloring layer of this middle, is employed.

A method includes. determining numbers of a cards sequentially removed from a card shooter and delivered to one or more persons during a round of a card game. The method further includes determining, based on the determined numbers of the cards and based on one or more signals received from a set of card detecting optical sensors of a group of sensors located on one or more card guide rails, whether there is an attempt to draw a card from the card shooter after the round of the card game is over. The method also includes, based a determination of that the attempt occurred, generating a signal indicating the attempt.

There is provided an information processing device, an information processing method, and a computer program capable of more reliably recognizing positions of a plurality of detection targets. The information processing device includes a control unit for recognizing positions of a first detection target and a second detection target that are present on the same surface. The control unit recognizes the position of the first detection target based on sensing data obtained by a first sensor for sensing the first detection target from a first direction, and recognizes the position of the second detection target based on sensing data obtained by a second sensor for sensing the second detection target from a direction opposite to the first direction across the same surface.

Embodiments described herein relate to systems, methods and devices for monitoring table activities at gaming tables in casinos and other gaming establishments. For example, embodiments described herein relate to systems, methods and devices for monitoring card game activities at gaming tables and transfers of chips between one or more players and a dealer. Embodiments described herein may include devices and systems particularly configured to monitor table activities that include betting activities and the transfer of chips (e.g. between a player and a dealer, or between a first player and a second player) at gaming tables to determine bet data including a number of chips in a betting area of the gaming table, a total value of chips in the betting area, the number of chips in a chip tray, a total value of chips in the chip tray, and so on.

Administrating a package of shuffled playing cards to prevent fraudulent card exchanges. The administrating system is configured to calculate places and a number of packages of shuffled playing cards at places of the backyard, the places of playing tables, places of carriers and the disposition place using information obtained by the loading step and unloading step and the administrating system calculates by every ID codes bases 1) places of packages registered by the registering step for registering to a data base of administrating system and a number of packages place by place from information obtained from the loading step and the unloading step. The administrating system is configured to recognize whether there is a lost package by comparing the information of all ID codes registered in registering steps with the ID codes at places of packages obtained at the calculating step from the loading step and the unloading step.
