The game system of the present invention comprises a game table having a betting area in which a plurality of betting targets are laid out, a camera that captures the game table and generates a captured image, and an information processing device that identifies which betting target the stack is bet on, wherein when a plurality of stacks of the gaming chips are bet on the same betting area, the information processing device, based on the captured image, determines which stack is the stack of main player and which stack is the stack of back-betting player.

GAMING ENVIRONMENT TRACKING SYSTEM CALIBRATION
20230005327 · 2023-01-05 ·

A method and apparatus to automatically modify one or more presentation attributes of a gaming system. For instance, the gaming system detects, via analysis of an image data by a neural network model, an appearance of one or more features of a gaming surface. The gaming system further automatically modifies, via the neural network model in response to detecting the appearance of the one or more features, a presentation attribute associated with presentation of gaming content via a designated area of the gaming surface. The gaming system further projects, via a projection system based on the modified presentation attribute, the gaming content onto the designated area of the gaming surface.

Inspection system, inspecting device, and gaming chip

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.

CHIP TRACKING SYSTEM
20230237868 · 2023-07-27 ·

A method and apparatus for a chip tracking system. A chip tray is positioned above a light-diffusion box. The chip tray has a transparent portion for a column of the chip tray. One or more image sensors are positioned with a viewing perspective of chips through a transparent portion of an underside of the chip tray. A tracking controller is configured to illuminate the light-diffusion box with diffused light that shines through the transparent portion of the chip tray and illuminates the edge of one or more chips in a chip stack visible via the transparent portion. The one or more image sensors capture an image of one or more chips in the column in response to illumination of the light-diffusion box. The tracking controller analyzes, via a neural network model, a color pattern on the edge of the one or more chips. The tracking controller associates the color pattern on the edge of the one or more chips with a denomination value for the chip stack. The tracking controller determines, using a range imaging device, a height of the chip stack. Further, the tracking controller computes a monetary value of the chip stack based on the denomination value, the height of the chip stack, and a known edge thickness of one of the one or more chips.

GAME MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
20230230443 · 2023-07-20 ·

A game management system that manages a casino game which is played in a casino facility includes: a camera that acquires an image by photographing bet game tokens; a control device that identifies a bet amount for each player position of a gaming table on the basis of a position, a type, and the number of game tokens in the image; a reader/writer device that identifies a player of each player position of the gaming table; and a point processing unit that stores a member ID of each player who is identified by the reader/writer device and a bet amount of each player position which is identified by the reader/writer device in a recording device in correlation with each other. The point processing unit has a function of giving points based on a bet amount of each player who is identified by the reader/writer device to the player.

Bonus bet system and method

Disclosed is a bonus bet system for use with a roulette game or other games as it relates to a player placing a bonus bet on an outcome of the roulette game or the other games. The bonus bet system may include a first outcome determination device, such as a wheel, and a second outcome determination device, such as a second wheel. The first outcome determination device includes a first plurality of outcomes displayed thereon, and the second outcome determination device has a second plurality of outcomes displayed thereon. The first and second pluralities of outcomes may be the same, or the second plurality of outcomes may be a subset of the first plurality of outcomes. When the outcome of the second outcome determination device corresponds to the outcome of the first outcome determination device, a bonus may be applied to successful wagers on the first outcome.

ANIMATING GAMING-TABLE OUTCOME INDICATORS FOR DETECTED RANDOMIZING-GAME-OBJECT STATES
20230230439 · 2023-07-20 ·

In one example, a gaming system for determining, via image analysis, an outcome value (e.g., a card value) of a randomizing game object (e.g., a playing card) for a game played at a gaming table and also detecting, based on the outcome value and one or more game rules, an occurrence of a winning outcome for the game. The gaming system can further determine, via image analysis, a location at a gaming table surface related to the winning outcome. The gaming system can further, in response to determining the location, render a virtual-scene overlay having an outcome indicator positioned at pixel coordinates that correspond to the location. The gaming system can further project the virtual-scene overlay at the gaming table to cause an image of the outcome indicator to appear at, and in some examples conform to a shape of, the location at the gaming table surface.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING DIGITAL WALLETS
