Gaming medium and gaming system using gaming medium
A gaming medium includes a wireless tag on a white side thereof, a wireless tag on a black side thereof and a high magnetic permeability member. Each wireless tag stores information to be read magnetically. The high magnetic permeability member is placed between the wireless tags, prevents a magnetic field from affecting the wireless tag on the black side at a time when the information stored in the wireless tag on the white side is magnetically read from the white side, and prevents a magnetic field from affecting the wireless tag on the white side at a time when the information stored in the wireless tag on the black side is magnetically read from the black side.
1. A gaming medium used in a game during which the gaming medium is placed on a gaming table and reversed from a first side to a second side of the gaming medium or from the second side to the first side, comprising:
a first wireless tag mounted on the first side wherein first information stored in the first wireless tag is magnetically read;
a second wireless tag mounted on the second side wherein second information stored in the second wireless tag is magnetically read; and
a high magnetic permeability member placed between the first wireless tag and the second wireless tag, preventing a magnetic field from affecting the second wireless tag at a time when the first information stored in the first wireless tag is magnetically read using the magnetic field from the first side, and preventing a magnetic field from affecting the first wireless tag at a time when the second information stored in the second wireless tag is magnetically read using the magnetic field from the second side.
2. The gaming medium according to claim 1 , wherein the high magnetic permeability member includes a first high magnetic permeability member on the firs side and a second high magnetic permeability member on the second side, and
a metal material intervenes between the first high magnetic permeability member and the second high magnetic permeability member.
3. The gaming medium according to claim 2 , wherein the metal material includes iron.
4. A gaming system comprising:
a gaming table;
a gaming medium used in a game during which the gaming medium is placed on the gaming table and reversed from a first side to a second side of the gaming medium or from the second side to the first side,
wherein the gaming medium comprising:
a first wireless tag mounted on the first side wherein first information stored in the first wireless tag is magnetically read;
a second wireless tag mounted on the second side wherein second information stored in the second wireless tag is magnetically read; and
a high magnetic permeability member placed between the first wireless tag and the second wireless tag, preventing a magnetic field from affecting the second wireless tag at a time when the first information stored in the first wireless tag is magnetically read using the magnetic field from the first side, and preventing a magnetic field from affecting the first wireless tag at a time when the second information stored in the second wireless tag is magnetically read using the magnetic field from the second side;
a reading unit that magnetically reads information stored in the first wireless tag or the second wireless tag of the gaming medium placed in a placement region formed on the gaming table; and
an identifying unit that identifies that either one of the first side and the second side corresponds to the upper side of the gaming medium placed in the placement region on the basis of information magnetically read by the reading unit.
5. The gaming system according to claim 4 , wherein the high magnetic permeability member includes a first high magnetic permeability member on the firs side and a second high magnetic permeability member on the second side, and
a metal material intervenes between the first high magnetic permeability member and the second high magnetic permeability member.
6. The gaming system according to claim 5 , wherein the metal material includes iron.
