Management System

Abstract

This system provides a management system that supports dealer operations by recognizing betting chips in roulette games using RFID tags and cameras. [Solution] The control device obtains the first reading result of the RFID tag using the bet area antenna for the remaining winning chips after the game result is determined on the wheel and the non-winning chips have been collected. It obtains the first image of the winning chips using multiple cameras and analyzes the first image using an analysis device to determine the number of image-recognizable winning chips of each color in which occlusion does not occur in any of the first images. By subtracting the number of image-recognizable winning chips of each color from the number of winning chips of each color indicated by the first reading result, it determines the number of occluded winning chips of each color in which occlusion occurs in any of the first images. The payout for each color is calculated based on the respective payout multipliers for the number of image-recognizable winning chips of each color and the occluded winning chips.

Claims

1. A management system for managing a roulette game played using roulette chips on a roulette table equipped with a wheel and a betting area partitioned into multiple betting areas, In the aforementioned roulette game, different players use roulette chips of different colors. The roulette chip is equipped with an RFID tag that stores information corresponding to its color, and the color is visible at least on its side. The aforementioned management system is At least two cameras capture the aforementioned bed area from different diagonally upward positions and generate images or videos from each, One or more bet area antennas built into the bet area for reading the RFID tags of the roulette chips placed in the bet area, An analysis device that analyzes the aforementioned image or video to determine the number of roulette chips of each color bet in the betting area, the multiple boundaries of adjacent betting areas, and the positional relationship between the roulette chips and the boundaries. A control device that controls the at least two cameras, the one or more bed area antennas, and the analysis device to perform dealer support processing for payouts, A display that shows the results of the dealer support process, Equipped with, The control device is After the game result is determined on the wheel and the non-winning chips are collected by the dealer, the RFID tags of the remaining winning chips are read using the one or more bet area antennas to obtain a first reading result, and the winning chips are photographed using the at least two cameras to obtain a first image or video, and the first image or video is analyzed using the analysis device to determine the number of image-recognizable winning chips of each color that do not show occlusion in any of the first images or videos. By subtracting the number of image-recognizable winning chips of each color from the number of winning chips of each color indicated by the first reading result, the number of occlusion winning chips of each color in which occlusion occurs in any of the first images or videos is determined. Based on the number of image-recognizable winning chips of each color and the number of occlusion winning chips of each color, and their respective payout multipliers, the payout for each color is calculated. The display is a management system that displays the allocation for each color calculated by the control device.

2. The system further comprises a retrieved chip antenna for reading the RFID tag of the non-winning chip retrieved by the dealer, The control device is Using the one or more bet area antennas, the RFID tags of all the roulette chips placed in the bet area are read to obtain a second reading result. Using the aforementioned antenna for retrieved chips, the RFID tag of the non-winning chip is read to obtain a third reading result. The management system according to claim 1, wherein an alert is output if the result obtained by subtracting the number of non-winning chips of each color, as shown in the third reading result, from the total number of roulette chips of each color that have been bet, as shown in the second reading result, does not match the number of winning chips of each color, as shown in the first reading result.

3. A player identification system that identifies the relationship between a player participating in the roulette game and the color of the roulette chip assigned to that player, A recording device that records the history and / or cumulative bet amounts for each player, Furthermore, The control device determines the history and / or cumulative total to be recorded in the recording device based on the number of each color of all the roulette chips bet, as indicated by the second reading result, according to claim 2.

4. The control device determines the payout multiplier for the image-recognizable winning chip and the occlusion winning chip based on the positional relationship between the roulette chip and the boundary determined by the analysis device, according to the management system according to claim 1.
