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 of a gaming chip which is to be used for a table game and includes a radio tag, the inspection system comprising:
a reading device configured to read radio tags of gaming chips to be inspected and acquire gaming chip information of the gaming chips to be inspected;
a determining unit configured to compare the gaming chip information of the gaming chips to be inspected with a physical number of the gaming chips to be inspected,
wherein the determining unit is configured to:
count a number of the gaming chips to be inspected based on the gaming chip information acquired by the reading device;
determine that there is an abnormal gaming chip among the gaming chips to be inspected when the number of the gaming chips obtained as a result of counting does not match the physical number of the gaming chips to be inspected; and
output a determining result; and
a radio tag information database configured to store information of the radio tags of the gaming chips, wherein the determining unit is configured to compare the gaming chip information of the gaming chips to be inspected which is read by the reading device with the information of the radio tags stored in the radio tag information database to detect an abnormal gaming chip among the gaming chips to be inspected.
2. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the radio tags of the gaming chips are read by the reading device in a state where the gaming chips are stored in a gaming chip case.
3. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the physical number is acquired based on a number or height of the gaming chips to be inspected which is obtained optically or a weight of the gaming chips to be inspected which is obtained by measurement.
4. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the determining unit is configured to compare, when determining that there is an abnormal gaming chip among the gaming chips to be inspected, the gaming chip information of all gaming chips to be inspected which is read by the reading device with the information of the radio tags stored in the radio tag information database to specify presence of an abnormal gaming chip whose information of the radio tag is not stored in the radio tag information database.
5. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the determining unit is configured to specify, when determining that there is an abnormal gaming chip among the gaming chips to be inspected, presence of an abnormal gaming chip of which the gaming chip information is unable to be obtained, among the gaming chips to be inspected.
6. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the determining unit is configured to analyze the gaming chip information acquired by the reading device and generate a signal when there are two or more gaming chips including the same gaming chip information among the gaming chips to be inspected.
7. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the radio tag information database is an information database of the radio tags of the gaming chips being stored or used in a game hall, and the determining unit is configured to analyze the gaming chip information of the gaming chips to be inspected acquired by the reading device and generate a signal when the gaming chip information matches with information of a radio tag of a gaming chip placed in a different place in the game hall.
8. An inspection system of gaming chip which is to be used for a table game and includes a radio tag, the inspection system comprising:
a reading device configured to read radio tags of gaming chips to be inspected and acquire gaming chip information of the gaming chips to be inspected; and
a determining unit configured to compare the gaming chip information of the gaming chips to be inspected with a predetermined number,
wherein the determining unit is configured to:
count a number of the gaming chips to be inspected based on the gaming chip information acquired by the reading device;
determines that there is an abnormal gaming chip among the gaming chips to be inspected when the number of the gaming chips obtained as a result of counting does not match the predetermined number,
wherein the predetermined number is a number of the gaming chips which are stored in a storage such that the gaming chips fill the storage without a gap; and
output a determining result.
