Abstract
A credit balance and award tracking and display system is disclosed. One or more physical indicators configured to indicate one or more monetary values may be associated with one or more player positions at a table game. As wagers are placed, game play advanced, and outcomes and awards are determined, the physical indicators may be manipulated to reflect one or more credit balances and/or awards associated with the one or more player positions at the table game.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a chip indicator device, one or more credit balances associated with a player;
- causing output, based on the one or more credit balances associated with the player, via one or more chip indicators, one or more physical representations of the one or more credit balances;
- receiving, by the chip indicator device, one or more commands configured to cause the chip indicator device to reconfigure the one or more chip indicators;
- and
- causing output, based on the one or more commands, via the one or more chip indicators, one or more physical representations of one or more updated credit balances.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a computing device configured to:
- determine one or more credit balances associated with a player;
- cause output, based on the one or more credit balances associated with the player, via one or more chip indicators, one or more physical representations of the one or more credit balances;
- send, to a chip indicator device, one or more commands configured to cause the chip indicator device to reconfigure the one or more chip indicators;
