Gaming token and process for fabricating same

Abstract

An improved gaming token and fabrication process therefor wherein an injection molding compound is applied at selected preconfigured locations within and between a pair of aligned, substantially flat annular non-metallic rings. The common interface between the injected molding compound and the annular rings receiving the molding compound is seen as continuous sharply defined lines between the different colors of the molding compound and of the rings, respectively. These lines define preconfigured surface designs which are contiguous with the outer surfaces of the two annular rings. One or more coins may be mounted in a central opening defined by certain portions of the annular rings, and these coins impart an added measure of control over the distribution of these tokens in instances where the annular rings are made by authorized outside vendors.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
