<p>A fully automated accounting system (11) accurately and automatically monitors and records all gaming chip transactions in a casino. The system employs a gaming chip (13) having a transponder (17) embedded therein to provide an instantaneous inventory of all of the gaming chips in the casino, including those in storage in the vault (75) as well as the chips in the cashiers cage (77), and at each gaming table (19) on the casino floor. The system is capable of reporting the total value of the gaming chips at any location. The transaction history of each chip may be maintained in a data base embedded in the chip, and read each time the gaming chip is scanned by a special antenna (29). If the chip is not where it is supposed to be according to its recorded transactional history, it will be identified and may be invalidated by nullifying a special casino security code.</p> |
