Patent number: 11861866Abstract: A method, system, and computer readable storage for identifying regions of interest on a casino gaming table. Regions of interest are locations on an image where relevant actions are typically going to occur. For example, locations of betting area region of interest and card area regions of interest are determined so that these areas can be analyzed on a video camera. The analyzed areas can then be used for things such as determining and tracking player betting amounts, determining if the game is being dealt properly (by analyzing the cards dealt to determine if the proper cards are dealt and/or the proper payouts are made).Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Visualimits, LLCInventors: Ryan McClellan, Brett Tinling, Robin Groenevelt

Patent number: 11412184Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting and processing events that occur at a gaming table in a casino environment. Camera streams associated with the table game are analyzed using lightweight, watchdog processes. When a certain event is detected, extended processes can be executed in order to provide additional information regarding the event. Such as approach can require a relatively limited amount of computing resources, while still providing relevant information to casino operators. The information can be used, for example, to track gameplay and provide player ratings.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: VisuaLimits, LLCInventor: Ryan McClellan
