Abstract

A game token by which a plurality of RFID tags embedded in a plurality of the game tokens stacked each other can be read in a relatively stable manner is provided. A game token is provided with a security part and a receiving part that receives the security part. The security part has a shape with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the receiving part, a structure with a plurality of plastic layers laminated together, an RFID tag, and a visible print layer indicating a type or ID of the game token. The receiving part has a surface. The surface of the receiving part has a recessed portion for receiving the security part, and the depth of the recessed portion is 25% or more of the thickness of the game token.

Claims (9)

1. A game token, comprising:

a receiving part having a first recessed portion of a first depth on one side and a second recessed portion of a second depth deeper than the first depth on the other side;

a first part configured to be fitted into the first recessed portion;

a second part configured to be fitted into the second recessed portion and having a structure in which a plurality of plate-shaped plastic layers are laminated, the second part distinct from the first part; and

an RFID tag placed at a position deeper than the first depth in the second recessed portion.

2. The game token according to claim 1 , wherein the specific gravity of the second part is greater than the specific gravity of the first part.

3. The game token according to claim 1 , wherein the specific gravity of the second part is less than the specific gravity of the receiving part.

4. The game token according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving part comprises a weighted member inside, and the weighted member has a higher specific gravity than a member other than the weighted member that comprises the receiving part.

5.
