Abstract: A change monitoring system and method includes or involves, in an embodiment, a data storage device having a plurality of instructions. The instructions are executable to direct one or more processors to access reference gaming deployment data based on an electronic communication with a processor that is associated with a gaming environment. The reference gaming deployment data is related to one or more gaming units that have been operated in the gaming environment during a first period of time. The one or more gaining units correspond to a reference gaming deployment in the gaming environment during the first period. Also, the instructions are executable to direct the one or more processors to access changed gaming deployment data based on the electronic communication with the processor. The changed gaming deployment data is related to a change to the reference gaming deployment that has resulted in a changed gaming deployment that was implemented during a second period of time after the first period.

Abstract: The casino table yield management data processing system has a minimum bet change recommendation generator receiving casino table occupancy and player betting data and generating recommendation data based on casino game operations model data and business rule data. A timing filter determines when recommendation data is to be presented to an operator. A quantification filter calculates revenue value data of implementing a minimum bet change and determining whether recommendation data is to be presented to an operator.

Abstract: A system is provided for processing yield management and casino table data. The system provides a graphical presentation of each games table spread, and where the game is overspread or under spread, and by how much. The table spread opportunities can also be aggregated to determine whether what is observed is a trend so that the operator can act on that trend to remedy it. An interactive graphical representation of this data combined with an ability to drill down to the underlying data to verify trends makes it possible to find opportunities to close games, open games and add or remove tables to the gaming floor so as to improve profitability. Displaying graphically how pricing of tables could be changed is particularly useful so that managers can know where opportunities exist to change pricing in order to improve profitability. An ability to drill down to a floor view makes it possible for the manager to verify the casino floor and visually see how the players are seated on tables.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for identifying and tracking gaming objects and game states on a gaming table. Through the use of imaging devices and identity and positioning modules gaming objects are detected. An identity and positioning module identifies the value and position of cards on the gaming table. An intelligent position analysis and tracking (IPAT) module performs analysis of the identity and position data of cards and interprets them intelligently for the purpose of tracking game events, game states and general game progression. As a game progresses it changes states. A game tracking module processes data from the IPAT module and keeps track of game events and game states. Ambiguity resolution mechanisms such as backward tracking, forward tracking and multiple state tracking may be used in the process of game tracking. All events on the gaming table are recorded and stored on video and as data for reporting and analysis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of tracking playing cards on a game table. More specifically, it provides for detecting and recognizing partially visible playing cards within overhead images of a gaming table. Furthermore, it provides for processing a set of game data, a set of game rules, as well as a current, unresolved, game state to derive a subsequent state of the game. Finally, it provides for the detection of game events that alter tracking operations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for identifying and tracking gaming objects. The system comprises an overhead camera for capturing an image the table, a detection module for detecting a feature of the object on the image, a search module for extracting a region of interest of the image that describes the object from the feature, a search module for extracting a region of interest of the image that describes the object from the feature, a feature space module for transforming a feature space of the region of interest to obtain a transformed region of interest, and an identity module comprising a statistical classifier trained to recognize the object from the transformed region. The search module is able to extract a region of interest of an image from any detected feature indicative of its position.
