Game token tray, table game management system, game token tray system, and game token management method

A management system for a table game that uses a game table, the management system comprising:

• a game token in which a radio frequency (RF) tag is embedded, identification information being given to the game token;
• a game token tray provided on the game table and holding the game token;
• a first reading device that reads the identification information by reading the RF tag of each game token placed on the game token tray;
• a second reading device that reads the identification information of the game token placed on the game token tray, the second reading device being different from the first reading device;
• and
• a management control device that specifies a type and a number of the game token on the game token tray using the identification information read by the first reading device and the identification information read by the second reading device,
• wherein the game token tray includes an upper tray used to take in and out the game token during settlement of a game and a lower tray disposed below the upper tray and storing the game token for replenishment to the upper tray, and
• the upper tray and the lower tray can take two modes of a state in which the upper tray and the lower tray are overlapped and an open state in which the game token on the lower tray can be taken in and out.

A game token tray system comprising:

• a double tray including a lower tray and an upper tray stacked on the lower tray to store a game token in which a radio frequency (RF) tag is embedded, identification information being given to the game token;
• a first reading device that reads the identification information from the RF tag of the game token stored in the lower tray;
• a second reading device that reads the identification information of the game token stored in the upper tray, the second reading means being different from the first reading device;
• and
• a recording device that records a reading result of the second reading device about the game token stored in the upper tray, and records the identification information read by the first reading device about the game token stored in the lower tray.

A game token tray holding a game token of which a color indicating a value is given to a side surface, the game token including a radio frequency (RF) tag in which information indicating the value is stored, the game token tray comprising:

• an upper tray used to take in and out the game token during settlement of a game;
• a lower tray disposed below the upper tray and storing the game token for replenishment to the upper tray;
• a first reading device that reads the value by reading the RF tag of the game token placed on the lower tray;
• and
• a second reading device that reads the value of the game token placed on the upper tray, the second reading device being different from the first reading device,
• wherein the upper tray and the lower tray can take two modes of a state in which the upper tray and the lower tray are overlapped and an open state in which the game token on the lower tray can be taken in and out, and
• the first reading device does not read the RF tag of the game token placed on the upper tray while the upper tray and the lower tray are overlapped.
