Abstract: Identifiers are read from playing cards collected after completion of at least one hand of a card game, such as blackjack, and the value of a hand is determined from the resulting sequence of read identifiers (i.e., ending sequence). The playing cards are collected in a defined order, such as from players in order from a dealer's right to left, and finally from the dealer. The cards, and the play of the game, can be validated based at least in part on the ending sequence. Identifiers may also be read from cards before or while dealing the card game to produce an initial sequence.

Abstract translation: 从卡片游戏的至少一只手（例如二十一点）完成之后收集的扑克牌中读取标识符，并且根据所得到的读取标识符序列（即，结束顺序）确定手的值。 扑克牌按照定义的顺序进行收集，例如从经销商的右边到左边的玩家，然后从经销商那里收集。 卡片和游戏的玩法可以至少部分地基于结束顺序来验证。 在处理纸牌游戏之前或者在交易纸牌游戏时也可以从牌中读取标识符以产生初始序列。

Abstract: A gaming system includes a gaming table and a podium. The podium is located adjacent to a back portion of the gaming table and carries one or more optical readers. The readers are configured to read at least one wager placed approximately within a demarcated wagering area on a playing surface of the gaming table. The readers can be optical imagers, optical scanner, and/or video imagers. The podium and/or gaming table can carry a number of gaming automation components such as a card reader, a discard reader, chip tray, etc.

Abstract: A system employs a server computing system with an integrated database and wireless communications devices, for example, handheld personal digital assistants (PDAs). The server computing system may also communicate with fully automated data collection systems associated with some gaming tables and/or with the casino's legacy data collection systems and databases. The server computing system may communicate with various non-gaming related casino systems, such as point-of-sale terminals and/or accounting systems, related to the various guest facilities, for example, allowing player comps to be freely exchanged for services and merchandise. The wireless communications devices permit remote wagering.

Abstract: A primary wager is placed by a primary player regarding an outcome of a gaming event, and a secondary wager is placed by a secondary player regarding an outcome of the primary wager. Tertiary wagers may also be placed regarding an outcome of the secondary wager. The outcome of the gaming event is determined. The outcome of the primary wager is determined based on the determined outcome of the gaming event. The outcome of the secondary wager is determined based on the determined outcome of the primary wager. The outcome of the tertiary wager is determined based on the outcome of the secondary wager. Winnings and losses are paid and collected, respectively. Wagering can be local or remote. Statistics and/or odds can be generated and displayed.

Abstract: The present discussion generally describes separable playing cards that can be reassembled, methods of separating and reassembling the playing cards, and methods of using the playing cards in a gaming environment. The playing cards are combined from constituent components, which are a face and a back. The face can have a suit marking, a rank marking, or both. The combination of any given face and back represents a pairing. This pairing can be changed or reconfigured by separating the face from the back and reordering at least the faces or the backs. The reordered faces and backs can be assembled back into respective playing cards and used in a subsequent card game. The reordering can be done manually, mechanically, or computationally generated. The playing cards can include unique identifiers that can be read by a machine and used to verify that a sufficient number of the original pairings have been altered.

Abstract: A system automatically monitors playing and wagering of a game. A chip tray reader automatically images the contents of a chip tray, to periodically determine the number and value of chips in the chip tray, and to compare the change in contents of the chip tray to the outcome of game play for verifying that the proper amounts have been paid out and collected. A table monitor automatically images the activity occurring at a gaming table. Periodic comparison of the images identify wagering, as well as the appearance, removal and position of cards and other game objects on the gaming table. The system can produce measurements relevant to providing automated security, real-time accounting and providing a basis for automatically allocating complimentary player benefits.

Abstract: A system automatically monitors playing and wagering of a game. A table monitor in a chip tray automatically images the activity occurring at a gaming table, including the placement of wagers. A processor processes image date to locate wagering pieces, identify the value of each wagering piece, the amount of the wager, and to verify the authenticity of the wagering pieces.

Abstract: A system automatically monitors playing and wagering of a game. A chip tray reader automatically images the contents of a chip tray, periodically determining the number and value of chips in the chip tray. The chip tray reader may compare a change in contents of the chip tray to game play outcomes for verifying that the proper amounts have been paid and collected. The chip tray reader also may automatically track the number and/or value of the contents of the chip tray, requesting additional chips when necessary.
