Inspection system, inspecting device, and gaming chip
An inspection system of a chip includes a reading device and a determining unit. The reading device is configured to count a number of chips stored in a storage case, the chips associated with a table game and including a chip having a radio tag, read the radio tag while the chips are stored in the storage case, and acquire chip information. The determining unit is configured to compare the chip information of the chips in the storage case with a physical number of the chips in the storage case, determine that there is an abnormal chips among the chips stored in the storage case based on a determination that the counted number of the chips does not match a physical number of the chips in the storage case, and output a result associated with an indication of the abnormal chip.
1. An inspection system configured to inspect gaming chips with built-in RFID tags, the inspection system comprising:
an inspection table on which a plurality of gaming chips are placed side by side;
a plurality of sensors configured to detect a presence of each of the plurality of gaming chips placed on the inspection table in a manner other than by an RFID reading operation;
one or more RFID antennas configured to be used to detect the presence of the gaming chips by reading the RFID tags of the plurality of gaming chips placed on the inspection table;
a controller configured to detect a presence of an abnormal gaming chip which is fake or damaged by comparing results of detections by the plurality of sensors with results of detections using the one or more RFID antennas; and
an output device configured to output a result of the comparison or detection of the presence of the abnormal gaming chip by the controller.
2. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the inspection table has a configuration in which a plurality of gaming chips are placed in an aligned position.
3. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors are arranged in a straight line at equal intervals.
4. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more RFID antennas are provided parallel to a planar direction of the gaming chips placed on the inspection table.
5. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the output device is configured to output a physical number of the gaming chips detected by the plurality of sensors.
6. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the output device is configured to output the number of RFID tags read using the one or more RFID antennas.
7. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the output device is configured to, as the result of the comparison or detection, output a difference between a physical number of gaming chips detected by the plurality of sensors and the number of the RFID tags read using the one or more RFID antennas.
8. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the output device is a display configured to display the results of the comparison or detection in an image.
9. The inspection system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a database configured to store information on registered RFID tags,
wherein the controller is configured to detect unregistered RFID tags by checking the RFID tags read using the one or more RFID antennas against the database.
10. The inspection system according to claim 9 , wherein the output device is configured to output information on the unregistered RFID tags or the number of the unregistered RFID tags.
