Abstract
Since a game token (chip) on a game table has a complicated design, it is difficult for an image analysis technology to judge whether a dealer correctly redeems chips corresponding to betted chips at the time of redemption and there has been a problem that mistake prevention is not sufficient. A table game management system according to the present invention includes: a camera (4) that images a game token (100) placed on a game table (1); and a management control device (9) that grasps a type (10 points, 20 points, 100 points, 1,000 points, or the like) of the game token (100) placed on the game table (1) based on a color of a side face of the game token (100) imaged by the camera (4).
