RFID system for facilitating selections at a table game apparatus
10486054 · 2019-11-26 · ·

In accordance with some embodiments, a system for facilitating a card game is equipped with RFID antennas or interrogators operable to detect initial wagers placed by players on a table surface of the system. The system is further equipped with an electronic shoe which deals cards for the game and a processor with is operable to receive data both from the RFID antennas and the electronic shoe. Upon receiving data from an RFID antenna that a player has placed an initial wager based on initial odds and receiving data identifying some (but not all) cards dealt for a hand, the processor is operable to calculate adjusted odds for a re-characterization wager that would replace the initial wager, and output on a display of the system an offer for the re-characterization wager that corresponds to adjusted odds.

Positive reinforcement based aid with visual, auditory and tactile rewards
10482780 · 2019-11-19 ·

A method and system for behavioral performance reinforcement is presented. A behavioral reinforcement device includes a housing with an electronic display, where the electronic display displays a user's behavioral performance both numerically and symbolically. The housing includes a sensor to detect a user input and a token dispenser to dispense tokens. When the sensor detects a pre-defined user input, a controller executes a device activation sequence to turn the device on or a device deactivation sequence to turn the device off.

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING AND SORTING DISKS
20180286162 · 2018-10-04 ·

An apparatus for receiving and sorting disks includes a wheel having at least one well for receiving a disk, a motor coupled to the wheel, a collecting device positioned relative to the wheel, a disk sensor, an ejector, and a controller. The collecting device has at least a first collector and a second collector configured for receiving disks. The disk sensor is configured to detect a value of a parameter of a disk received in the well and generate a parameter value signal. The ejector is coupled to the wheel proximate the well and configured to eject a disk from the well in a plane parallel to a bottom surface of the wheel in response to an eject signal. The controller is operably coupled with the disk sensor and the ejector.
