The present invention aims at making a modular expansion system for hybrid or table games with electronic control, allowing to extend the traceability and extend the interaction area outside an original sensorized surface and especially outside the investigation area of a contactless identification system associated with the main board of the gaming system. This allows the user to enlarge the gaming surface outside the interactive surface of the original system and to obtain an interactive gaming surface which reproduces, for example the environment layout, enabling to interact in a more realistic way with the virtual gaming events and environments. According to the proposed solution, any gaming board, equipped with an original magnetic tracking system for tracking position and a identifying system (for example contactless or RFID type) for the identification of the playable elements and accompanied by physical interaction elements and a system communicating with a gaming apparatus (PC, tablet, console) where a software or an interacting video game is running, is expanded/extended by means of a series of additional elements, able to connect to each other and to said gaming board, said elements being provided with an extremely economical and reliable position tracing system based only on magnetic sensors and an appropriate tracing method.

A device and method for differentiating and locating game pieces on a sensorized game board via magnets of distinct strength. A central processing unit coordinates with a sensorized physical structure of an amusement device to participate and/or govern gameplay. The device within the amusement device can be used with a graphic board operating as a board game. Playable and movable objects are tracked through sensors enabling progressive storage of positions assumed by the same objects resulting from voluntary user interactions. In an illustrative scenario, multiple identification units are positioned in the amusement device where game pieces are used. The sensorized board senses the presence of a game piece as the game is played. The identification unit produces an output signal read by the computer that identifies the location and type of game piece. The computer uses the location and identity of the game pieces to monitor or participate in gameplay.
