Abstract

Multicolored casino wagering chips are assigned temporary values and those values are transmitted to a separate device, such as a chip sorter that is used to determine chip values and value flow during a casino table game. A single color chip is temporarily associated with a chosen value for that color chip, and the value/chip relationship is provided to all systems that use that relationship in assessing game performance, wins, losses, payouts, record keeping, and security for the table game. In one embodiment of the technology described herein, a set of opposed slots on a rack is provided, with a single color of chip and an electronic marker positioned on an opposed pair of slots. The marker sends out a signal regarding the temporary value of the color chip, and that sent value is used by all automated systems on or about the gaming table to assign value to that color chip. At the conclusion of play with a particular color of chip, all the chips are returned by the player, the chips repurchased, and the value is erased from the records for that particular chip. The markers and chips may be displayed on the rack for visual inspection during play.
