Abstract: A machine for cleaning gaming chips or coins which includes means to convey individual coins or chips to a carrier wheel consisting of a vertically oriented disc having arranged about its periphery a plurality of coin or chip sized open recesses to receive individual coins or chips so that the coins or chips are supported on their edges and both faces of the coins or chips are exposed. The carrier wheel rotates through a washing station, a drying station arranged about said carrier wheel such that a drying air stream passes over and around said coins or chips in said carrier wheel. The coin or chip recesses in the carrier wheel are crenellated to allow washing fluid and the drying air stream to pass over the edges of the coins or chips. A total residence time for each chip that is sufficient to clean and dry the chips will lie in range of 10 to 20 seconds.

Abstract: An identification token 5 is provided with a read /write electronic chip 8 and antenna 10 located beneath a label 9. The chip operates in the 12-15 MHz frequency range. The identification token is easy to fabricate and requires less power to operate.

Abstract: A card inspection device includes a first loading area adapted to receive one or more decks of playing cards. A drive roller is located adjacent the loading area and positioned to impinge on a card if a card were present in the loading area. The loading area has an exit through which cards are urged, one at a time, by a feed roller. A transport path extends from the loading area exit to a card accumulation area. The transport path is further defined by two pairs of transport rollers, one roller of each pair above the transport path and one roller of each pair below the transport path. A camera is located between the two pairs of transport rollers, and a processor governs the operation of a digital camera and the rollers. A printer produces a record of the device's operation based on an output of the processor, and a portion of the transport path is illuminated by one or more blue LEDs.
