Abstract: A system automatically monitors playing of a game and gathers data in real time. An overhead imaging system automatically images the game table and provides an overhead view of the game table and/or the dealer's chip tray. A lateral imaging system images the gaming area, especially the wagering regions, to provide a lateral view of the chips on the table. An automatic card shoe system dispenses cards and automatically images at least one card immediately prior to its withdrawal from the shoe. A positioning module processes images from the overhead imaging system to automatically track the position of gaming objects such as for example playing cards, chips, currency bills on the gaming table. An identity module processes images from the overhead imaging system to automatically track the identity of gaming objects on the gaming table. A chip identity module processes overhead images of the chip tray and lateral images of the gaming region to automatically determine, the identity and position of gaming chips. A card-shoe software associated with the automatic card shoe system processes signals from the automatic card shoe system to automatically identify the game related value of at least one card immediately prior to its withdrawal from the shoe by a dealer.

Abstract translation: 系统自动监控游戏的播放并实时收集数据。 顶置成像系统自动地对游戏桌进行图像，并提供游戏桌和/或经销商的筹码盘的俯视图。 横向成像系统对游戏区域，特别是投注区域进行成像，以提供桌子上的筹码的侧视图。 自动卡片鞋系统在卡片从卡片退出之前立即分配卡片并自动图像至少一张卡片。 定位模块处理来自架空成像系统的图像以自动跟踪游戏对象的位置，例如游戏卡上的扑克牌，筹码，钞票等。 身份模块处理来自头顶成像系统的图像，以自动跟踪游戏桌上的游戏对象的身份。 芯片身份模块处理芯片托盘的开销图像和游戏区域的横向图像，以自动确定游戏芯片的身份和位置。 与自动卡片鞋系统相关联的卡鞋软件处理来自自动卡片鞋系统的信号，以在紧靠经销商从鞋子退出之前自动识别至少一张卡片的游戏相关值。
