Abstract: A multifunctional keypad is provided for use on a casino gaming table to monitor and support dealer performance. The keypad is mounted to the gaming surface near a chip tray, card shoe, and betting regions, and is electrically connected to a table monitoring system comprising a processor and memory. The processor receives and timestamps gameplay data from detection devices, computes rolling averages of hands dealt, compares values to thresholds, and generates real-time dealer alerts. The keypad includes secure attachment devices, an electronics unit, communication interfaces, and a slot for passing currency or paperwork into a drop box below the table. Input devices allow the dealer to record information and display it on a table sign visible to players, while output devices convey performance alerts to the dealer. Metrics conveyed include hand counts, rolling averages, threshold comparisons, and numbers of winning or losing hands since the last shuffle.

Abstract: A system and method for improving monitoring of a casino gaming table that includes capturing a camera image or video feed of a gaming table layout; identifying a calibration marker having a known geometric configuration positioned on the gaming table layout; generating a normalized, substantially top-down digital representation of the gaming table layout; applying a stored template representation of the gaming table layout onto the normalized, substantially top-down representation of the gaming table layout such that each of the pre-determined regions of interest is spatially aligned with corresponding locations in the normalized, substantially top-down representation of the gaming table layout; detecting presence of a gaming object within at least one of the predetermined regions of interest; correlating the detected gaming object with a stored template representation of the gaming object; and generating, gameplay data derived from the detected physical gaming object.

Abstract: A system includes a plurality of anchors fixed in a casino, the anchors configured to transmit and receive ultra-wideband (UWB) signals, a plurality of tags configured to transmit and receive UWB signals data, data processing hardware, and memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware. The memory hardware stores instructions that when executed by the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations that include tracking the location of the tags via transmission and receipt of UWB signals between the anchors and the tags, and instructing tags at rest to function as anchors to transmit and receive UWB signals with tags in motion.

Abstract: A system and method of communicating between a user device and a venue device located within a gaming venue, the method includes establishing an electronic communication link, using a Bluetooth signal, between the user device and at least one venue device within a range of the user device in the gaming venue; detecting, by a detector of the venue device, using ultra-wideband localization, presence or location of the user device relative to the venue device; and then communicating, by a mobile application residing on the user device, with the venue device, via the electronic communication link and/or via Wifi or a cellular network.

Abstract: A methodology and apparatus for providing casino game signage for a casino game which incorporates display information that is dynamically interchangeable between game specific and game non-specific information responsive to automatic detection of game play status at the game table. At least one electronic display is provided at respective casino game tables, and selected display information is wirelessly transmitted, and/or manually delivered, thereto. The display information which is displayed is dynamically selected based upon a sensor automatically detecting the status of play of the game, being game specific during play and selectively game specific and game non-specific during game play inactivity.
