Abstract

The management and control device uses the information acquired from the measurement device to detect a total bet amount of the chips placed on the bet area of the game table by the game participants, and uses the information acquired from the card shoe and the measurement device to detect a winning or losing amount for the game organizer. A sales balance management part compares a sales profit ratio that is a ratio of the winning or losing amount for the game organizer to the total bet amount with a theoretical profit ratio or a previous average profit ratio, and outputs a comparison result.

Claims (21)

1. A management system for a gaming chip configured to be used at a game table, the management system comprising:

the gaming chip provided with an RFID configured to be individually recognizable;

the game table including a table face for performing a game using the gaming chip and a chip tray for storing at least one chip of a dealer;

a chip determination device configured to identify a type and a number of gaming chips based on the RFID, the gaming chips including the gaming chip;

a measurement device configured to measure the number of the gaming chips using a camera; and

a management control device that is configured to:

compare, for each type of the gaming chips identified by the chip determination device, the number of the gaming chips measured by the measurement device with the number of the gaming chips identified by the chip determination device; and

determine that there is a defective or counterfeit gaming chip based on, for at least one type of the gaming chips identified by the chip determination device, the number of the gaming chips measured by the measurement device is different than the number of the gaming chips identified by the chip determination device.

2. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement device is configured to, using artificial intelligence or deep learning technology, measure the type and the number of the gaming chips based on an image captured by the camera.

3. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the management control device is further configured to, based on a determination that the number of the gaming chips measured by the measurement device is different than the number of the gaming chips identified by the chip determination device, capture the game performed on the game table with the camera to record image data identifying a progress state of the game.

4. The management system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a database configured to store information corresponding to information stored in the RFID of the gaming chip which is registered in the database, and

wherein the management control device is further configured to determine whether or not the information corresponding to the information read from the RFID is stored in the database.

5. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the management control device is further configured to generate an error signal based on a determination of an abnormality.

6. The management system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a card distribution device configured to determine and display a win-loss result of each game played at the game table, and

wherein the management control device is further configured to calculate a balance of a casino side in the game table using the win-loss result obtained from the card distribution device and a measurement result that indicates a position, the type, and the number of the gaming chips.

7. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the management control device is further configured to verify whether or not an increase or decrease in total amount based on the type and number of gaming chips specified by the management control device or the chip determination device matches a calculation of a balance for each game based on a calculation result of a balance on a casino side for each game played at the game table.

8. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the management control device is further configured to, based on a change in a presence of the gaming chip, record a time associated with the change in a database and verify a doubt of use of an unfair gaming chip.

9. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the RFID was installed in the gaming chip at a time of manufacture of the gaming chip.

10. The management system according to claim 1 , wherein the management control device is further configured to identify and store the number of the gaming chips using a result of a measurement performed by the measurement device.
