A table game management system comprising:
- a camera;
- and
- a management controller, wherein:

- the color, on the basis of which the management controller is configured to identify the type, is a first color of a pattern on the side face of the game token captured in the image, the pattern being made up of the first color, which corresponds to the type of the game token and a second color that is not dependent on the type of the game token;
- a first area of the side face of the game token, on which the first color is at least partially provided, extends in a direction that is circumferential about the game token;
- and
- a second area of the side face of the game token, on which the second color is at least partially provided, extends in the direction that is circumferential about the game token.
