ABSTRACT:
A Roulette Registration System is described for real-time registration of the proceeds in roulette games. The system uses a method in which the collective bet is considered as an ensemble of stacks of coins, each of which is analyzed for its composition (with coins identified by type, with reference at least to their monetary value) and location (on the table, defining the particular bet associated with the stack). The implementation of the method utilizes so-called `smart coins,` which allow for communication (of their monetary values) among themselves and to the table. Thus, each stack autonomously determines its stack composition, which is subsequently transmitted to the table. The table is endowed with a cartesian sensing grid, via which the stack composition data are communicated to a central registration system. Sufficient spatial resolution of the cartesian sensing grid further allows accurate determination of the stack locations, by resolving the coordinates of the spot on the table where the stack transmitted its stack composition data. In this fashion, the particular bet associated with a stack is completely determined. The registration system applies to the registration of the proceeds of games for obtaining data for statistical analysis, for enabling real-time faithful representation at remote sites and for supervising the proceeds as an anti-fraud measure.
