Abstract: A management system includes a recording device recording an image of a gaming chip and an inspection device determining a type and authenticity of the gaming chip. The gaming chip has a multilayer structure in which both sides of a colored layer are sandwiched between light color layers, surface printing representing a type of the gaming chip is performed on outer sides of the light color layers, and an authenticity recognition mark is printed on the colored layer of an inside of the light color layers by an infrared absorbing material. A visible light camera photographs a visible light image of the surface printing, and an infrared light camera photographs an infrared image of the internal printing. The inspection device determines the type and authenticity of the gaming chip using the visible light image and the infrared image.

Abstract: A table game system capable of providing a table game to provide a chance to bet more higher paid off odds and additional wagering opportunities during the play in a way that is not complicated is provided. The set of shuffled decks of playing cards has a different card arrangement orders due to shuffling, and thus, each set is unique. Therefore, in order to identify each set, an ID code is used in the form of a bar code or a quick response (QR) code. The set of shuffled decks of playing cards has a special card which has been packaged together with other normal cards of the shuffled decks of playing cards in one package in a factory.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, provided is a chip recognition system that recognizes a chip on a gaming table in an amusement place having the gaming table, the chip recognition system including: a game recording apparatus that records, as an image, a state of chips stacked on the gaming table, using a camera; an image analysis apparatus that performs an image analysis on the recorded image of the state of chips; a plurality of chip determination apparatuses including at least a first artificial intelligence apparatus that determines a number of the chips stacked, using an image analysis result obtained by the image analysis apparatus; and a second artificial intelligence apparatus that decides a correct number of the chips stacked, when the plurality of chip determination apparatuses obtain different determination results for the number of the chips stacked.

Abstract: The management system for substitute currency includes a pattern acquiring device configured to acquire an image of the ground pattern of the substitute currency, a reading device configured to read an ID of the substitute currency currency, and a control device configured to associate a pattern of the ground pattern with the ID and store the associated pattern and ID in a database. The control device is configured to analyze the image of the ground pattern acquired by the pattern acquiring device to identify the pattern, and determine, based on the database, whether the pattern of the ground pattern of the substitute currency matches the pattern of the ground pattern associated with the ID of the substitute currency obtained from the reading device, thereby to determine authenticity of the substitute currency.

Abstract: A management system includes a camera configured to capture an image of a plurality of gaming chips having an RFID tag storing first information and having second information written on a surface thereof; a reading device configured to read the first information from the RFID tags of the plurality of gaming chips; an image analysis unit configured to obtain, based on the image, a location of each of the plurality of gaming chips and the second information; and a comparison and judgment unit configured to identify a location of a problem gaming chip, by comparing the first information obtained by the reading device with the second information obtained by the image analysis unit.

Abstract: A table game system is provided capable of identifying shuffled playing cards used at the time of the occurrence of a problem in a card shoe apparatus, thereby enabling an investigation of the cause thereof or the taking of countermeasures therefor. A card shoe apparatus of the table game system of the present invention includes a barcode reader that reads a barcode provided in a shuffled playing card set, thereby reading a shuffled card ID that uniquely identifies the shuffled playing card set. A sensor for detecting the opening/closing of the lid is provided under the lid to detect the opening/closing of the lid, thereby detecting replacement of the shuffled playing card set. A control unit further includes a function of storing security items in connection with a shuffled card ID.
