The controller is configured to read the RFID tags using the betting area antenna to obtain a first reading result for winning chips remaining after a game result has been determined on a wheel and non-winning chips have been collected by a dealer, capture the winning chips using a plurality of cameras to obtain first images, and analyze the first images using the analyzer to determine a number of image-recognizable winning chips for each color for which occlusion has not occurred in any one the of the first images; and subtract the number of image-recognizable winning chips of each color from a number of winning chips for each color indicated by the first reading result to determine a number of occluded winning chips for each color having occlusion in any of the first images; and calculate a payout amount for each color based on the number of image-recognizable winning chips for each color and a payout multiplier for each of the occluded winning chips.
