A load weighing luggage rack having a first top rail and a second top rail, wherein each top rail is comprised of a rail base, a pair of load sensors configured to be seated on the rail base and a top platform configured to be seated on top of each corresponding load sensor and the rail base, such that each load sensor is nested within a corresponding top rail, a plurality of straps configured to engage with the first and second top rails and a strain meter in electrical communication with each load sensor, such that a weight exerted on each load sensor may be measured and displayed by the strain meter. Each top rail may be supported by a corresponding rail support, wherein the rail supports may be configured to allow for selective folding of the load weighing luggage rack to facilitate easy storage and transit.

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.
