The present disclosure provides a method of calculating the odds of a sports play using data fidelity by using a historical database and extracting the most recent play data and the previous play data, and comparing the extracted play to a set of rules to determine if the data is accurate and should be used to calculate wagering odds or if the data is inaccurate or contains an error which prompts action by the system, such as suspending the current wager market until the data that is received is accurate. Also, the method provides a method of calculating the odds of a sports play using data fidelity by using a historical database and extracting the most recent wager market data or wager odds data and the previous wager market data or wager odd data and compares the data to a set of rules to determine if the data is accurate and if not notifying an administrator of the wagering network or wagering platform of a systematic error or issue.

A fraud detection system which detects fraud in a game of performing collection and redemption of chips in accordance with a win or lose result includes a camera which captures an image of chips contained in a chip tray of a dealer, an image analyzing apparatus which analyses the image captured by the camera to detect an amount of the chips contained in the chip tray, a card distribution device which determines a win or lose result of a game, and a control device which compares the win or lose result of the game and the amount of the chips contained in the chip tray before and after collection and redemption of the chips to detect fraud.

When an unfair gaming currency is delivered to a dealer from a player, the currency is detected as unfair. The inspection system for inspecting the gaming currency, in which an RF tag is built, comprises: a gaming currency tray for housing the gaming currencies of the dealer in a casino game; an RF reader for reading the RF tags of the plural gaming currencies housed in the gaming currency tray; plural photosensors for detecting at least the number of the plural gaming currencies housed in the gaming currency tray at a constant time interval or always in a method other than RFID; and an inspection/alarm part for generating alarms when the number of the gaming currencies whose RF tags are read by the RF reader is not equal to the number of the gaming currencies detected by the plural photosensors.

The instant invention is related to a telemetry system with devices designed for the specific purpose of auditing transactions within a network. The network infrastructure is specifically configured to provide power to all the connected devices from a single power source. The electronic memory within each module of the system is able to store data locally to prevent data loss if the network is not available for data transfer. Furthermore, a gateway is provided to allow communication to a central database or to store data if a remote network is not available. The system may include a web portal hosted by a dedicated server designed for providing stability and a specific user interface showing only the relevant acquired data to specific users.

Systems and methods that enable an operator, such as a member of gaming establishment personnel, to access an electronic gaming machine without any physical identifier associated with the operator.

An inspection system inspects gaming chips each having a color or a display indicating a value on an outer surface in a state where the gaming chips are stored in a case in which a maximum of the number of gaming chips to be stored is limited, and a radio tag storing gaming chip information is embedded in each of the gaming chips. The gaming chips are stored in the case capable of containing a row of gaming chips stacked in a thickness direction, and the inspection system includes a reading device that reads the radio tag of the gaming chip in the case and acquires gaming chip information of the gaming chip and a determining unit that compares the gaming chip information with a maximum of the number of gaming chips storable in the case and determines an abnormality of the gaming chip in the case when the number of gaming chips obtained from the gaming chip information is different from a maximum of the number of storable gaming chips.

The present application provides methods and systems for maintaining anonymity in a gaming environment that include or perform the step or steps of receiving a user preference from a first user for maintaining an identity of the first user anonymous during at least one game; tracking game play involving the first user and at least one other user; receiving a request from the at least one other user to initiate at least one game with the first user; retrieving game history data specific to the first user and the at least one other user; retrieving at least one rule for controlling interactions between anonymous users and the at least one other user in the gaming environment; and disposing the request to initiate the at least one game with the first user based at least on the game history data and the at least one rule for controlling interactions between anonymous users and the at least one other user. The game may be a casino-type game, such as poker, blackjack, craps, roulette, and baccarat.

In one aspect, a device management platform is provided. The device management platform includes at least one gaming device coupled to a host system and a plurality of modular devices in wireless communication with the host system and forming a wireless mesh network therebetween. At least one of the plurality of modular devices is coupled to the gaming device and configured to determine, based on information retrieved via the wireless network, a location of the gaming device, and generate a profile based on a device configuration of the gaming device and the location of the gaming device, where the profile defines a role of the gaming device.

Systems and methods provide a comp policy associated with a game of chance. A gaming device includes a processor programmed to provide the game of chance to a player. A first computing device is configured to implement the comp policy that includes at least one comp available to the player and at least one comp eligibility criterion for determining whether the player is eligible for the at least one comp. The player accrues progress towards meeting the at least one comp eligibility criterion at an accrual rate. A second computing device is coupled to the first computing device. The second computing device is configured to transmit data to said first computing device to adjust the accrual progress.
