Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an automated casino chip redemption system and method. The system enables casino patrons to redeem multiple casino chips simultaneously through an automated process that identifies, verifies, and processes the chips without manual counting. The system may employ various technologies, such as machine vision or RFID, to accurately determine chip values and authenticity. Upon verification, the system dispenses corresponding value to users through various payment methods. The automated approach improves efficiency, reduces wait times, and enhances security compared to traditional manual chip redemption processes.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to capture and analyze events in a casino using approaches that efficiently manage computing resources. One or more cameras are positioned proximate to a gaming table. Image data from the cameras can be analyzed using machine learning models to understand the events occurring at the gaming table. A first machine learning model is maintained at an edge server that can be positioned within a gaming environment, for example. The machine learning model on the edge server can be a copy of machine learning model on a cloud-based server. Through ongoing testing and training activities, the machine learning model on the cloud-based server can be updated for the purposes of improving object detection accuracy. Once the machine learning model has been updated, such updates can be provided to the machine learning model on the edge server.

Abstract: This specification relates to a system for and method of handling electronic markers and extensions of credit for use at a gaming establishment, such as a casino. The electronic marker can be redeemed using cash or cash equivalents, casino valued currency (such as casino chips), or by electronic transfer of funds. Extensions of credit can be provided to a patron at a gaining table in real-time through communications with a mobile device. Such extensions of credit can be a courtesy extended to high level, fast betting casino patrons, for example. At the end of the gameplay, the total amount of funds extended (less any repayment by the patron at the table) can be converted to casino marker.
