<p>A gaming table (2) with multiple sensing devices on or proximate the table. Each sensing device or groups of devices has a separate intelligent module that senses changes in the sensing devices. The module date stamps and transmits (24) the data over a network to an external data base. Casino table card games are provided with sensors (16) for detection of an indicator initiated by a dealer to indicate approximate beginning of or final completion of a round of play of a casino table card game. The signal is read by a table subcomponent that has a time or time/dating capability. The signal is time/date stamped (referred to herein as "Date Stamping" or "date stamping"). The date stamped signal is then transmitted (24) from the subcomponent to a processor (e.g., gaming table processor or pit processor or main casino processor and/or central processor for multiple casinos). The data retains its date stamping at least through storage, analysis, data entry or other treatment of the data after transmission away from the table (2), and the date stamping may or may not be provided by the sensor (16) itself. The system also allows for the date stamping or other status information to be sent to a data bank or repository of information (e.g., security bank or security room) for storage of the information, without necessarily any game-play related function. The data may be processed in real time at this bank or repository, or may be reviewed and analyzed at a later time.</p> |
