According to one embodiment, a polymer is provided for coupling to an RFID circuit, where the polymer is in the physical form of a planar material, and where the polymer has a resistivity of at least 1 Ω/sq.

In accordance with some embodiments there is provided an electronic gaming table system (e.g., a smart table operable to facilitate a card game, such as baccarat, blackjack or poker) which includes (i) at least one detecting mechanism for detecting a plurality of game elements (e.g., wagering chips) placed on, or removed from, a particular physical position of a physical table of the gaming table system to represent at least one wager for a particular game event; and (ii) a game controller operable to identify, based at least on data received from the at least one detecting mechanism, whether the plurality of game elements represent a single wager or multiple distinct wagers placed on the particular physical position and for the particular game event. In some embodiments, the detecting mechanism is an RFID antenna.

Provided is a casino game medium and a game table system capable of reducing adjacent reading without limiting a design of a game table. The casino game medium 100 includes the medium side antenna 110, the resistance element 111 connected to the medium side antenna 110, and the IC chip 112 that stores medium information and outputs the medium information based upon an induced electromotive force generated in the medium side antenna 110. The medium side antenna 110 is designed so that the resonance frequency thereof is higher than the specified frequency band.

The present disclosure relates generally to a gaming token representing a wager amount placed in a game that can provide different sensory feedback responses in response to different sensed contexts associated with the token. Illustratively, a method of facilitating player interaction in a game includes receiving, by a gaming system, a gaming token representing a wager amount placed in a game; receiving, by a processor of the gaming system from a context sensor, input that a context is associated with the gaming token; determining by the processor, from among a plurality of different possible sensory feedback responses, a selected sensory feedback response corresponding to a determined context; and causing, by the processor, the gaming token to produce the processor selected sensory feedback response.

A game token money includes a plurality of plastic layers laminated through thermocompression bonding including at least a colored layer in the middle to specify a value of the game token money and a pair of pale color layers laminated on both sides of the colored layer. An RFID is embedded in a layer other than the outermost layer of the plurality of plastic layers; and a classification part is filled in at least one of the pale color layers to indicate a classification of the game token money. The classification part is recognizable from a side face and a front face of the game token money. The RFID contains information regarding a value of the game token money and a classification of the game token money indicated by the classification part.

A system configured to identify a location of a problem gaming chip includes a camera configured to capture an image of a plurality of gaming chips having a built-in RFID tag storing first information and second information written on a surface thereof. The system also includes a reading device configured to read the RFID tags of the plurality of gaming chips to obtain the first information of the plurality of gaming chips and an image analysis unit configured to obtain, based on the image, a location of each of the plurality of gaming chips and the second information. The system further includes a comparison and judgement unit configured to perform a comparison based on the first information of the plurality of gaming chips obtained by the reading device and the second information of each of the plurality of gaming chips obtained by the image analysis unit to identify the location.

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 table game management system according to the present invention includes a camera that images a game token placed on a game table, and a management control device that grasps a type of the game token placed on the game table based on a color of a side face of the game token imaged by the camera.

A first reading can be determined of gaming chips in a gaming area using a first identification technology. The first reading can include a count of gaming chips. A second reading can be determined of gaming chips in a gaming area using a second identification technology. The second reading can include a count of gaming chips. A variance can be identified between the first reading and the second reading.

An information processing system includes an information bearing medium and an information reading unit. The information bearing medium has a two-dimensional array of unit data zones. Marks are provided on some of the unit data zones so as to form a digital code. Mark patterns of any two Y-directional adjacent unit data zone strings based on the arrangement of marks in an X-direction differ from each other. The information reading unit generates a data string on the basis of a unit signal formed from a plurality of signals output from a group of detection units that detect the marks in synchronization and recognizes the digital code of the information bearing medium on the basis of a group of the data strings sequentially obtained from the array of the unit data zones.
