Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a poker table game, and more particularly to a table game system that is applicable to two game modes. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional poker game tables are generally designed for a single game, such as baccarat, Texas Hold'em, or blackjack. The table surface structure, chip placement area, card dealing area, and electronic display and sensing devices of the game table are often dedicated to a specific game rule. Because the table surface layout is fixed, the related control system and accessories are also dedicated to a single game. Therefore, when changing the type of game, it is often necessary to move to a game table with the corresponding game type, or at least to change the table surface and reconfigure the control system, which causes inconvenience and increases costs.

[0003] Therefore, the traditional poker game table lacks flexibility in game switching, cannot effectively meet users' demands for diversified entertainment, and also has limited space utilization and operational efficiency. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Based on the above-mentioned drawbacks, the objective of the present invention is to provide a table game system that can be applied to two types of game modes. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] Based on the object of the present invention, there is provided a table gaming system including: a gaming table having a betting table surface, the betting table surface being divided into a plurality of betting blocks for placing at least one chip, each of the betting blocks having a plurality of first betting areas and a plurality of second betting areas, at least a portion of the first betting areas and the second betting areas being arranged to overlap; a chip identification module having a plurality of chip identification sensors, each of which is arranged correspondingly below an overlapping area of ​​the first betting area and the second betting area; and a controller attached to the gaming table, communicatively connected to the chip identification module, and having first game software and second game software.

[0006] In the table game system of the present invention, a radio frequency identification unit is installed inside the chip.

[0007] In the table game system of the present invention, an intelligent card shuffler and a display module are attached to the game table, and the display module includes a public display and a dealer display. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The table game system of the present invention can be applied to two types of game modes. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] 1 is a top view of a game table according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 2] 1 is an explanatory diagram of a bed block according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of components of an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] In order to clearly explain the specific implementation manner, structure and effects achieved by the present invention, the following description is given in conjunction with the drawings, providing an embodiment. The descriptions of directions such as "front", "back", "up", "down", "left", and "right" in the text are for ease of understanding only, and the present invention is not limited to these directions and can be adjusted according to actual circumstances.

[0011] 1 to 3, a table game system 100 includes a game table 10 having a betting surface, the betting surface being divided into a plurality of betting blocks 11, each of which has a plurality of first betting areas 111 and a plurality of second betting areas 112, the first betting areas 111 and the second betting areas 112 being at least partially overlapping with each other. A player can place at least one chip 13 on a corresponding betting area according to a selected game mode to complete a bet. This overlapping design allows the requirements of different game rules to be met simultaneously on the same betting surface, reducing the cumbersome procedure of table switching or rearrangement.

[0012] More specifically, the table game system 100 further includes a chip identification module 15 having a plurality of chip identification sensors 151, with one chip identification sensor 151 installed below the overlapping area between each of the first betting areas 111 and each of the second betting areas 112, and a radio frequency identification unit (RFID) installed inside each chip 13. When a player places a chip 13 on the betting area, the corresponding chip identification sensor 151 below detects the RFID unit and generates a detection result. The detection result may include chip value, position, and betting status, and is transmitted to the controller 16 via a communication method, allowing betting information to be recorded and updated in real time, further ensuring the accuracy and fairness of the game.

[0013] The controller 16 is attached to the game table 10 and stores first game software 161 and second game software 162. Before starting a game, a player or dealer can operate the controller 16 to select a desired game mode and switch to the corresponding game software. The controller 16 receives and analyzes the sensing results transmitted by the chip identification module 15, performs calculations based on the rules of the selected game software, and outputs the calculated betting information, game progress, and results to the display module 18. This design allows a single game table 10 to have multiple game functions, improving the space utilization rate and operational efficiency of the gaming venue. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first game software 161 is baccarat and the second game software 162 is Texas Hold'em, but is not limited thereto.

[0014] The display module 18 includes a public display 181 and a dealer display 182. The dealer display 182 is installed on one side of the game table 10 and displays the total bet amount, game progress, and result determination in real time, helping the dealer to accurately perform each step in the game progress and avoiding operation errors. The public display 181 is installed in the external field area of ​​the game table 10 so that all players can clearly see it and ensure the openness and transparency of the game results.

[0015] The table game system 100 also includes an intelligent card shuffler 17, which communicates with the controller 16 to enable the intelligent card shuffler 17 to control the order and quantity of tiles dealt according to the progression planned by the selected game software. When a player selects a different game mode, the deal logic is adjusted and the intelligent card shuffler 17 runs the corresponding deal program, ensuring that the rule requirements of different games are all met.

[0016] This allows the present invention to simultaneously support at least two different game modes on a single game table 10, effectively increasing the flexibility of game progression. This design not only reduces the need for multiple dedicated game tables in entertainment venues, saving space costs, but also enhances player participation and gaming experience.
