A fully automated table game player tracking system for blackjack and other casino games is disclosed. The system utilizes a computer-controlled combination imaging system in each table game (16). The system captures facial images to compare with images stored in the casino's database in order to automatically identify players without the need to swipe a player's magnetic ID card (14). It also captures images of a player's wagered chips to automatically calculate his/her total bet, average vet, number of hands played, etc. (50), in order to accurately rate a player to determine "comps" without using casino employees to make manual estimates of a player's betting activity. In addition, if their facial images are stored, casinos could also identify casino cheats and other undesirables, and, if facial images from the FBI, Interpol, etc., were also stored in the casino database or available online via the Internet or otherwise, the system could identify terrorists, drug dealers, couterfeiters and other criminals and threats to society. |
