Systems and methods of reading gaming chips and other stacked items

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer code stored thereon, the computer code comprising:
• computer code for obtaining a first plurality of identifiers associated with a first plurality of gaming chips present at a table, wherein the first plurality of identifiers are obtained from the first plurality of gaming chips at least in part by wireless communication with the first plurality of gaming chips, the first plurality of gaming chips having a stacked configuration;
• computer code for determining whether each of the first plurality of identifiers associated with the first plurality of gaming chips is valid, including comparing each of the first plurality of identifiers associated with the first plurality of gaming chips to a first set of valid identifiers;
• computer code for determining a value of the first plurality of gaming chips present at the table, utilizing the first plurality of identifiers;
• computer code for identifying an outcome of a game involving the first plurality of gaming chips;
• computer code for calculating a payout associated with the outcome;
• computer code for identifying a second plurality of identifiers associated with a second plurality of gaming chips present at the table;
• computer code for determining a value of the second plurality of gaming chips present at the table, utilizing the second plurality of identifiers;
• and
• computer code for confirming that the value of the second plurality of gaming chips corresponds to the payout associated with the outcome.
