Inspection system

An inspection system for inspecting gaming chips having built-in RFID tags storing type information and/or identification information, and having type information and/or identification information expressed on a surface, the inspection system comprising:

• a placing surface having a plurality of areas for placing a plurality of gaming chips to be inspected one by one;
• an RFID reading system that reads the RFID tags of the gaming chips placed in each of the plurality of areas on the surface to obtain the type information and/or identification information for each of the areas;
• a chip recognition system that recognizes a presence or absence of at least one of the gaming chips placed in each of the plurality of areas of the placing surface;
• a control device that determines a status of the gaming chip in each of the areas of the placing surface based on the type and/or identification information obtained by the RFID reading system and the recognition results of the chip recognition system;
• and
• a display device that reflects the status determined by the control device for each area,
• wherein the status determined by the control device includes at least one of:
• (1) the gaming chip in the area is normal;
• (2) the gaming chip in the area has a broken RFID tag or does not have a built-in RFID tag;
• and
• (3) there are no gaming chips in the area, and
• the control device determines that:
• a gaming chip in an area where the gaming chip has been recognized by the chip recognition system but the RFID tag could not be read successfully by the RFID reading system is in the status (2);
• and
• an area where a gaming chip is not recognized by the recognition system is in the status (3).
