High-Tech
Chip Helps Casinos
As reported by the Biloxi Sun-Herald:
"The chips that gamblers wager bets with
are about to become high-tech and in use at
a casino near you.
"That's
the word from John M. Kendall, the owner of
Chipco International and Sensynet. Chipco manufactures
and sells radio frequency identification chips.
Sensynet produces the software and hardware
to retrieve and process the radio signals emanating
from the chips.
"The
technology allows casinos to keep real-time
track of table game action, quickly assess player
points and know that their chips are secure
from counterfeit or theft.
"…Pit
bosses, who won't have to estimate drops at
the end of the shift because of the new technology,
will have more time to focus on customer service
and employee training, he said.
"The
use of radio bandwidths in casino chips is not
new, but the technology has improved and become
more affordable, Kendall said…" |
