System and method for detecting and analyzing video data relating to the course of a game on a gambling table in casinos

A system for detecting and analyzing video data relating to a course of a game on a gaming table in a casino, wherein the system includes a gaming table having a playing field comprising a plurality of playing field sections, a first camera unit, a second camera unit, a third camera unit, a video analysis unit, at least one analysis routine, and a display, whereby the course of the game on the gaming table is detected from at least two different side perspectives via the first camera unit and the second camera unit arranged on an edge of the gaming table, and from a bird's eye view via the third camera unit arranged above the gaming table, in each case in the form of detected video data, wherein the detected video data are transmitted to the video analysis unit and are analyzed in the video analysis unit by the at least one analysis routine, the at least one analysis routine comprises:

• a positioning routine whereby a number of a plurality of jettons and a position of the plurality of jettons on the gaming table are determined from detected video data collected from the first camera unit, the second camera unit and the third camera unit and the detected video data is analyzed based on changes in the number of jettons and the position of the plurality of jettons on a first playing field section assigned to at least one player, a second playing field section assigned to at least one game leader, and a central third playing field section provided between the first playing field section and the second playing field section, the first playing field section, the second field section, and the central third playing field section are analyzed by the positioning routine, independently from one another to build the generated game database with the position of the plurality of jettons being analyzed, and
• a game speed routine determining an average length of a game by detecting and measuring the video data collected from the first camera unit, the second camera unit and the third camera unit whereby a first-time placement of the jetton by a player prior to the beginning of a new game is collected and the time when the game leader who deals the cards returns the playing cards back into a card chute unit is also collected to determine the length of the game and a plurality of games are measured to collect and evaluate an average length of the game to further build a generated game database, and
• the generated game database displays the course of a game at the gaming table on a display in real time using the generated game database, and wherein the first camera unit and the second camera unit are spaced apart from one another and are arranged opposite one another above the gaming table, wherein the first camera unit and the second camera unit record the course of the game from two different side perspectives and the third camera records the course of the game from the bird's eye view, and wherein the first camera unit detects first video data relating to the course of the game from a first side perspective, the second camera unit detects second video data relating to the course of the game from a second side perspective, and the third camera unit detects third video data relating to the course of the game from the bird's eye view, and wherein the generated game database is updated dynamically and displays the course of the game on the display in real time in the form of a plurality of transaction data determined via the at least one analysis routine, and wherein a first video data, a second video data and a third video data are transmitted to the video analysis unit, and are combined with one another and the generated game database is generated therefrom, the generated game database comprises the plurality of transaction data, which are obtained from the first video data, the second video data and the third video data and which depict a chronological course of selected game events by collection data in a three-dimensional electronic manner and displaying the chronological course of the game in real time.
