Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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).

Abstract: A methodology and apparatus for providing casino game signage for a casino game which incorporates display information that is dynamically interchangeable between game specific and game non-specific information responsive to automatic detection of game play status at the game table. At least one electronic display is provided at respective casino game tables, and selected display information is wirelessly transmitted, and/or manually delivered, thereto. The display information which is displayed is dynamically selected based upon a sensor automatically detecting the status of play of the game, being game specific during play and selectively game specific and game non-specific during game play inactivity.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer readable storage to implement an automated system for video surveillance in a casino or other controlled environment. Players in the casino can be automatically scanned and analyzed for whether they are under the legal gambling age or not. When an underage gambler is detected, a casino security employee (or other casino personnel) is notified so they can take the appropriate action. Similarly, players who are excluded from the casino can also be automatically detected and would be ejected when detected.
