BET SENSORS, GAMING TABLES WITH ONE OR MORE BET SENSORS, AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

A bet sensor for determining the value of a wager includes a transparent cover having a bet placement surface configured and oriented to support a stack of gaming tokens thereon. A mirror arrangement is disposed on an opposing side of the transparent cover from the bet placement surface. The bet sensor also includes an image sensor. The mirror arrangement is located and configured to direct an image of a lateral side surface of a stack of gaming tokens supported on the bet placement surface onto the image sensor. A gaming table may incorporate such a bet sensor. Methods of forming such bet sensors include disposing a mirror arrangement on an opposing side of a transparent cover from a bet placement surface, and locating an image sensor such that the mirror arrangement directs an image of a lateral side surface of a stack of gaming tokens onto the image sensor.
