Abstract

A detection system of the present disclosure stores positions and the amount of game tokens that a game participant places on a game table based on a measurement result by a bet chip measuring device in the same persons for each game participant or player positions of the game table. A management control device compares an actual winning rate and a total return amount with figures obtained by a probability statistic calculation at the time of an end of the number of games to determine whether there is a significant difference therebetween and specifies any one of the game participant or the player position, the game table, or a room having the game table where the significant difference is occurring.
