Automated gaming table tracking system and method therefor

Abstract

Abstract An automated gaming table tracking system for a gaming table (10), such as blackjack. A sensor (70) located in the dealer's card playing area (60) senses the start and end of each game. A unique player identity card (300) is given to each player that contains information on the player. When a player arrives at a player position (20) on the table (10), the player inserts his player identity card (300) into a player station control (600) at the player position (20). A central distribution control (800) is connected to each player station control (600). A host computer (900) is then interconnected to the central distribution control (800) for storing the player identity information and the player position (20) for each player station control (600), the start and end of each of the games, the beginning and termination of play at each player position (20), and the printing of a player tracking card (500).
