Abstract: An outcome determination device includes a controller a random generator configured to determine an outcome from a predetermined number of outcomes. The device includes a display device, which may in the form of a wheel, having a plurality of sectors. A plurality of illumination devices are associated with each of the sectors. The sectors correspond to the predetermined number of outcomes. The random number generator and controller determine an outcome for a game, with the outcome corresponding to one of the sectors. The controller illuminates the illumination device corresponding to the sector that corresponds to the determined outcome. The illumination devices may be illuminated before, during, and/or after determination of the outcome, and may be illuminated in sequence to produce a rotating effect or may be illuminated randomly.

The carousel need not rotate to determine an outcome, and the carousel may therefore be fixed or rotatable relative to the base. A card mechanism may be actuated to eject a card from the winning card slot. A plurality of lights may be disposed around the carousel and may be selectively illuminable to indicate the winning sector. The sectors may include display screens with indicia displayed thereon.

Abstract: A chip rack assembly for safely storing casino chips that includes a tray and a cover that can be moved relative to the tray between an open position and a closed position. The open position of the cover permits access to the casino chips stored in the tray and the closed position of the cover restricts access to the casino chips stored in the tray. The chip rack assembly further includes a locking assembly having an unlocked condition and a locked condition. The unlocked condition allowing the cover to freely move between the open position and the closed position and the locked condition securing the cover in the closed position and prevents the cover from moving to the open position. The cover comprises either one large panel or a plurality of smaller panels that are hinged together and guided along a track between the open position and the closed position.

Abstract: An improved game surface for a table game system includes a random number generator for identifying one or more numbers relevant to determining an outcome of a game of chance. The table game surface includes a game layout, including a plurality of player positions and a plurality of wagering areas corresponding to different possible outcomes. Each wagering area includes at least one illumination source associated therewith that can be switched between an on condition and an off condition. Each at least one illumination source may be configured to switch to the on condition when the wagering area with which it is associated is a winning outcome.

Abstract: A shuffling machine for use with a game of chance having a plurality of possible outcomes includes a base structure and a wheel portion in communication with the base structure. The wheel portion includes a plurality of discrete areas corresponding in number to the plurality of possible outcomes for the game of chance. Each of the plurality of areas includes a plurality of displays configured to show an indicia corresponding to one of the plurality of possible outcomes. The machine includes a selector for identifying one of the plurality of areas and the indicia associated with the identified one of the plurality of areas. Wherein the plurality of indicia are not fixed such that they are not permanently assigned to one of the plurality of areas.
