Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a casino chip including a morphable surface including an alterable characteristic and a processor. The morphable surface is adapted to change the alterable characteristic. The processor is adapted to control the morphable surface to change the alterable characteristic in response to an input.
Claims40
A casino chip including:
- a morphable surface including an alterable characteristic, wherein the morphable surface is adapted to change the alterable characteristic;
- and
- a processor adapted to control the morphable surface to change the alterable characteristic in response to an input.
A method for altering the appearance of a casino chip, the method including:
- receiving a control signal at a casino chip;
- processing the control signal at a processor in the casino chip;
- and
- controlling a morphable surface of the casino chip to change an alterable characteristic of the morphable surface based at least in part on the control signal.
A morphable casino chip system, the system including:
- a morphable casino chip including a morphable surface and a processor, wherein the processor is adapted to change an alterable characteristic of the morphable surface;
- and
- a trigger providing a stimulus to the casino chip to affect a change in the morphable surface of the chip.
