Patent number: 10311672Abstract: The progress of a game while a change in gaming media placed in a betting area of a gaming table is left uncollected is prevented. A gaming table system includes a gaming table including a betting area in which gaming media are placed and an antenna member configured to read a value of the gaming media placed in the betting area by wireless communication and a control unit configured to execute a scanning process of obtaining the total value of the gaming media in the betting area by controlling the antenna member. The control unit fixes a first bet amount by executing the scanning process at a timing to fix the bet and fixes a second bet amount by executing the scanning process again at a predetermined timing, and the control unit repeats the scanning process until these amounts become identical.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2018Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Universal Entertainment CorporationInventors: Shinsuke Yamaguchi, Koichi Matsumoto, Yoshiyuki Kanno, Masaya Kato
