Definitions

  • This invention relates to gaming tables for roulette and silimar games, and is concerned with facilitating the collection of chips from such tables.
  • the croupier attending the table withdraws the chips of non-winning bets from the table following each spin of the roulette wheel.
  • the croupier does this by gathering all such chips together by drawing them from the betting area and elsewhere, laterally of the table onto a longitudinal side-wall of the table. They are then drawn by the croupier against this wall and along it towards the head of the table-top where the roulette wheel is located, for discharge through an opening in the table adjacent the roulette wheel.
  • the opening leads to a chip sorting machine, namely, a so-called "chipping machine” that collects and sorts the chips for re-use.
  • the croupier While the croupier is marshalling the non-winning chips from the betting area and elsewhere to the discharge opening, his/her attention to the disposition of chips remaining in the betting area is, or readily can be, diverted to an extent that enables interference with the remaining chips of the betting area to go unnoticed. In particular, the location of one or more of the remaining chips may be changed, even by a small amount, for fraudulent purposes to enhance the win attributable to them.
  • a gaming table for roulette and similar games in which the table has a side-wall located laterally of a betting area defined on the table-top, and an opening for receiving and admitting therethrough chips gathered from the betting area and elsewhere, the table being characterised in that the opening is in the side-wall of the table to admit therethrough chips drawn laterally of the table from the betting area, for discharge through the opening.
  • the opening in the side-wall may be a slot-opening lengthwise of the side-wall.
  • a flap may be provided to close the opening, and may be hinged to open to admit through the opening chips gathered from the betting area and elsewhere that have been drawn across the table-top onto the flap.
  • the flap may be resiliently biased to open inwardly under pressure of the chips drawn onto it.
  • the slot or other opening may be closed by a shutter which is movable to admit chips through the opening automatically.
  • the chips admitted through the opening may fall or otherwise load onto a conveyor mounted within the side-wall or beneath the table-top, for carrying the chips received through the opening into a chipping machine for collection and sorting for re-use.
  • the chips admitted through the opening may pass directly to the chipping machine. In either case, the chipping machine may be mounted under the table.
  • the table 1 has a conventional layout for the game of roulette and similar games having a roulette wheel 2 and a betting area 3 (delineated by dotted line); conventional or other graphic features of the wheel 2 and the betting area 3 are omitted from the drawing.
  • the table 1 is generally of an elongate rectangular configuration which on a side 4 of its two longitudinal sides 4 and 5 juts outwardly through an angled corner 6 to provide a head area 7 which is of an increased width to accommodate the roulette wheel 2.
  • a shoulder 8 which may be upholstered, is upstanding from the table-top 9. It extends peripherally of the table throughout the length of the side 4, across the foot 10 of the table 1 and along the side 5 to just below the wheel 2.
  • the shoulder 8 is rectangular in cross-section, and at least throughout most of its length along the side 4 between the foot 10 and the corner 6 is hollow.
  • the inner wall 11 of this part of the shoulder 8 has a longitudinal slot-opening 12 that is closed by a top-hinged flap 13.
  • the hinge 14 of the flap 13 includes spring-loading (not shown) that causes the flap 13 to retain the opening 12 normally closed (shown in full-line) but to pivot inwardly (as indicated in dotted-line) under the pressure of chips C that are gathered and urged against it across the table-top 9, by the croupier.
  • the spring-loading of the flap 13 is generally sufficient to hold the flap 13 closed against any chips C that accidently strike it when thrown by players onto the table-top 9 legitimately during the game.
  • the croupier scoops the gathered chips C individually and together against the flap 13, they enter through the opening 12 to fall onto a moving belt 15 of a conveyor system 16 that is mounted in a downward extension 17 of the arm 8 below the table-top 9.
  • the moving belt 15 conveys the fallen chips C through to a chipping machine 18 as indicated in Figure 1 .
  • the machine 18 collects and sorts the chips C for re-use.
  • the table 20 illustrated is a modified form of the table 1 in which the conveyor system 16 and chipping machine 18 are mounted on the underside 21 of the table 20 inwardly of the side 4.
  • the chips C that enter through the opening 12 from the table-top 9 fall down a chute 22 that is inclined downwardly and inwardly under the table 20 onto the moving belt 15 of the conveyor system 16.
  • the moving belt 15 conveys the fallen chips C through to the chipping machine 18 for collection and sorting.
