20090233699 | GAME JUDGMENT SYSTEM - A server device uses cameras to capture the images of cards dealt to players and a dealer. The server device automatically judges the game win/lose result of the players and the dealer and the dividends of the players through image recognition based on the card images from the cameras. The server device reads information from the wireless IC tags provided on game chips to judge the dividends of the players. The server device compares between the two dividends of a player to judge whether or not the dividends are inconsistent. If the dividends are inconsistent, the server device notifies the dealer and a casino hotel manager that the dividends are inconsistent. | 09-17-2009 |
20090291751 | MEDIUM POSITION DETERMINATION APPARATUS - When the same gaming chip is identified in betting regions, a betting apparatus identifies an intermediate position of the betting regions as a tentative position of the gaming chip. The betting apparatus determines whether or not gaming chips are placed on the same betting region based on a distance between tentative positions of the gaming chips. When a gaming chip is identified in one betting region, the betting apparatus determines that the gaming chip is placed on a center position of the betting region. When gaming chips are not placed on the same betting region, the betting apparatus determines that the gaming chips are placed on tentative positions of the gaming chips. When gaming chips are placed on the same betting region, the betting apparatus determines that the gaming chips are placed on an intermediation position on a line connecting tentative positions of the gaming chips. | 11-26-2009 |
20090325665 | GAMING MEDIUM AND GAMING SYSTEM USING GAMING MEDIUM - A gaming medium includes a wireless tag on a white side thereof, a wireless tag on a black side thereof and a high magnetic permeability member. Each wireless tag stores information to be read magnetically. The high magnetic permeability member is placed between the wireless tags, prevents a magnetic field from affecting the wireless tag on the black side at a time when the information stored in the wireless tag on the white side is magnetically read from the white side, and prevents a magnetic field from affecting the wireless tag on the white side at a time when the information stored in the wireless tag on the black side is magnetically read from the black side. | 12-31-2009 |
