Abstract:
A gaming table, for use with electronic memory microchip gaming chips, includes a tabletop including a gaming chip storage rack and a test station including a communication unit adapted to exchange information with the memory of a gaming chip in a test area by way of an antenna device, the communication unit being associated with a digital processing unit delivering an output message to the screen of a display device. The layout of the table is such that the screen of the display device is physically separate from the casing of the test station and the test area and the screen are disposed close together on the tabletop, beside the rack and in reach and in view of the operator. The gaming table is usable in casinos and gaming rooms.
