Abstract
A system and device for sterilizing gaming tokens stored in gaming equipment containers such as a tray having apertures for receiving gaining tokens in parallel rows. The system and device includes a sterilizing lid that can be positioned over a complementary tray having modular roller inserts inserted, the modular roller inserts operating in concert with the sterilizing lid to rotate the gaming tokens while the sterilizing lid emits a sterilizing light.
Claims19
A system for sterilizing a plurality of cylindrical gaming tokens positioned in parallel rows within one or more corresponding apertures within a gaming token tray, the system comprising:
- a gaming token tray lid housing including a sterilizing light emitter, which when activated, causes a sterilizing light to be emitted within the housing, the gaming token tray lid housing including an electrical contact that completes an electrical circuit when the gaming token tray lid housing is positioned on a corresponding gaming token tray;
- the gaming token tray having the one or more corresponding apertures, each aperture configured to receive a row of cylindrical gaming tokens of the plurality of cylindrical gaming tokens, the gaming token tray comprising:
- a plurality of modular roller devices, each modular roller device of the plurality of modular roller devices configured to be positioned between two adjacent parallel rows of cylindrical gaming tokens or an adjacent parallel row of cylindrical gaming tokens and a sidewall of the gaming token tray, each modular roller device comprising:
- one or more rollers adapted to be in physical contact with adjacent cylindrical gaming tokens in the adjacent parallel row or rows such that the one or more rollers, when rotated, cause the adjacent cylindrical gaming tokens to rotate through frictional engagement;
- one or more actuators coupled to a corresponding roller or corresponding rollers of the one or more rollers, which when electrically activated, cause the corresponding roller or corresponding rollers to rotate;
- and
- a controller circuit having at least one computer processor and coupled to the one or more actuators that cause rotation of the one or more rollers of the modular roller device for a duration of time such that the cylindrical gaming tokens are also rotated for the duration of time wherein the controller circuit includes one or more load sensor circuits configured to generate load data based at least on a corresponding rotation speed of each of the one or more rollers and a corresponding amount of power or energy provided to the one or more actuators, the load data provided to a central computer server coupled to each of the plurality of modular roller devices.
