Abstract: A gaming table (1;20) for roulette and similar games has a wheel (2) and a betting area (3) delineated on the table-top (9) with a rectangular hollow shoulder (8) upstanding along a longitudinal side wall (4) of the table (1;20). The inner wall of the shoulder (8) has a slot-opening (12) that is closed by a top-hinged flap (13) that opens inwardly against a spring action under pressure of chips (C) drawn onto the flap (13) across the table-top (9) from the betting area (3). Chips (C) admitted through the opening (12) fall onto a moving belt (15) of a conveyor system (16) leading to a chipping machine (18) under the table (1) for collection and sorting. In a modification, the chips (C) fall down onto the belt (15) via an inwardly inclined chute (22) under the table (20).
