  • Gambling smart card with betting limits
    Patent number: 9734668

The bet is reduced by a factor previously chosen by the gambler and agreed to by the casino. The smart card is programmed to reduce the bet by the agreed upon factor or percentage. The player appears to be betting more than the player actually bets because the winnings or losses will be reduced by the agreed upon factor.
