摘要： A wagering monitoring system configured to detect player wagers at a roulette table is disclosed. A table having antennas associated with the various wagering areas is provided for player. A reader connects to the antenna to thereby communicate via the antenna with token equipped with identification element. By monitoring wagers, game play is monitored and processing may occur to track each player wager and the amount wagered by a player. To facilitate play at a roulette table, the identification element associated with the token includes a token color identification code which identifies the color of the token. The token color identification code is associated with a player which in turn provides means to associated each wager and a total amount wagered with a player.

摘要： A table monitoring system and method for monitoring a table games. In one embodiment, the system comprises an RFID system and a processing engine. The system may include a camera, and image controller, or both. The system creates RFID data and image data in response to table events and its processing engine cross-references this data with time stamps to monitor table events such as wagers, payouts, or other occurrences. The data is associated with a tag which represents a table event. Table events are tracked during play. In one embodiment, the RFID data and image data is mapped to a coordinate grid. With the coordinate mapping and by cross-referencing this data, the system can distinguish individual table events occurring within the detection zone of a single RFID antenna such as distinguishing wagers placed on multiple bet locations within the detection zone of a single antenna.

摘要： A bet detection system which may execute on a computer based processing device is disclosed for use with DID tokens to detect unwanted or unfair betting patterns by players. The system utilizes a table equipped with DID token detection antenna associated with the one or more bet spots for the player positions. DID token antenna may detect DID tokens at the dealer position, other bet spots, or chip trays. A dealer interface allows the dealer to provide the game data to the detection system. The detection system processes the game data and the bet data, such as bet amount for the players. Based on this processing, bet patterns may be generated for the players and in relation to deck penetration information, deviations in bet patterns may be detected and appropriate notification provided.

摘要： In accordance with a game method, game information regarding one or more player selectable elements and awards associated with those elements is generated and stored. The player selectable elements are displayed and a player is permitted to select one or more of those elements. Each selected element is destroyed, unmasking or triggering an associated award. The award may be a monetary or credit value, symbol or secondary event. A secondary event may comprise an explosion or chain reaction destruction of other un-selected elements, which elements are unmasked to reveal associated awards or trigger additional secondary events. The game may be presented on a gaming machine, and may comprise a primary game or bonus round of another game.

摘要： A detectable identification device (DID) comprising a communication device, a power converter device, memory, and a processor and/or read-write logic and counter logic is disclosed. The counter logic of the DID may selectively increment a counter value stored in the memory ever time the DID has been accessed by a reader. Furthermore, a method for detecting and monitoring the number of times the DID has been accessed is disclosed. This may comprise comparing a reader access count to the DID counter values to determine if unauthorized access is occurring.

摘要： An apparatus and method for verifying the integrity and correct value of a game token. The token includes a primary and a secondary source of identification. The preferred primary token identification is an embedded RFID tag. The secondary token identification may be an alphanumeric serial number, a bar code or combination thereof. The game token is produced in conjunction with an electronic manifest. The manifest provides a production history of the game tokens and is a source of verification data. The data is subsequently used by a gaming establishment to verify the face value of the game token as compared to the physical appearance of the game token. In this way, counterfeit or altered game tokens may be identified prior to redemption.
