A table monitoring system and method for monitoring a table games. In one
embodiment, the system comprises an RFID system and a processing engine.
The system may include a camera, and image controller, or both. The
system creates RFID data and image data in response to table events and
its processing engine cross-references this data with time stamps to
monitor table events such as wagers, payouts, or other occurrences. The
data is associated with a tag which represents a table event. Table
events are tracked during play. In one embodiment, the RFID data and
image data is mapped to a coordinate grid. With the coordinate mapping
and by cross-referencing this data, the system can distinguish individual
table events occurring within the detection zone of a single RFID antenna
such as distinguishing wagers placed on multiple bet locations within the
detection zone of a single antenna.
