  • Bet sensing apparatuses and related devices and methods
    Patent number: 10290178
    Abstract: A bet sensor for sensing values of gaming tokens may include a bet placement surface configured and oriented to support a stack of gaming tokens thereon and an image sensor located and oriented to capture an image of a lateral side surface of at least one gaming token located on the bet placement surface. The image may depict the lateral side surface in a radial format. The bet sensor may include a processor in communication with the image sensor. The processor is configured to acquire image data from the image and analyze the image data to determine a wager value of the at least one gaming token. A gaming table may include such a bet sensor. The disclosure includes methods of operating such a gaming table.

  • Scanned beam system and method using a plurality of display zones
    Patent number: 7486255
    Abstract: A scan assembly includes an emitter array containing a plurality of optical emitters. Each optical emitter generates a corresponding image beam and the scan assembly scans the image beams in a plurality of overlapping display zones. The overlap of adjacent image display zones forms blending zones and the scan assembly can modulate the intensities of the image beams as a function of the position of the image beams in the blending zones. This modulation for a given blending zone may be a linearly increasing intensity of a first image beam and a linearly decreasing intensity of a second image beam.
