In the exemplary embodiment, betting points 305, 310 are associated with players betting on the game, and the chip tray 325 and player lost betting area 330 are already equipped with a source to generate a magnetic field. As will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art, any suitable source can be used to generate the magnetic field, such as a Magnets, an RFID antenna, and a solenoid are just a few non-limiting examples.
該示例性實施例顯示每一區域係具有其自己的來源，然而，可使用任何組合與裝配而不背離該來源意欲來產生一磁場以影響該對磁場敏感之顏料的設計所意欲的範疇與精神。以這種方式，於該博弈桌表面之複數區域，一莊家、賭台工務或任何其他個體可校驗及確認賭場貨幣的真實性。例如，一坐在桌邊的玩家試圖導入偽造的籌碼，若該玩家或是將該賭場貨幣放置在該投注點305、310上，或是要求該莊家更換為高面額賭場貨幣，而該莊家移動該貨幣至該區域330(其可能為籌碼托盤中之一閃光管(splash tube)，未圖示)而該等偽造的籌碼可被快速地檢測到。 This exemplary embodiment shows that each zone has its own source, however, any combination and assembly can be used without departing from the source to create a magnetic field to influence the intended scope and spirit of the design of the magnetically sensitive pigment. . In this way, a banker, table machine, or any other individual can verify and confirm the authenticity of the casino currency in the plural areas of the gaming table surface. For example, a player sitting at a table tries to import counterfeit chips, if the player either places the casino currency on the betting points 305, 310, or asks the dealer to change to a high denomination casino currency, and the dealer moves The currency is to the area 330 (which may be a splash tube in the chip tray, not shown) and the counterfeit chips can be quickly detected.
於另一實施例中，位於該投注點305、310之磁場的強度或頻率可與位於該區域330者不同，使得該於該賭場貨幣上之對磁場敏感的顏料於該等投注點305、310可呈現自一第一顏色改變至一第二顏色，然後在該區域330中從該第一或第二顏色改變至一第三顏色。顏色的數量可藉由相關聯的磁場強度規格而改變，而該磁場強度規格係與其個別的來源相關聯。 In another embodiment, the intensity or frequency of the magnetic field at the betting point 305, 310 may be different than the one located in the area 330 such that the magnetic field sensitive pigment on the casino currency is at the betting points 305, 310. It may be changed from a first color to a second color and then changed from the first or second color to a third color in the area 330. The amount of color can be varied by the associated magnetic field strength specification, which is associated with its individual source.
延續該示例性例，於該博弈貨幣上之顏料係裝配使得當該博弈貨幣被放置於該磁場之附近時，其對一觀察者之眼呈現自一第一顏色改變至一第二顏色。當在與位在該投注點305、310及區域330之來源相關聯的磁場附近時，若該貨幣上的顏色看來未改變，該莊家、賭台工務或安全攝影機可快速地辨認該貨幣為偽造的並採取適當的行動。於另 一實施例(未圖示)，該賭場碼房可併入一磁場產生裝置以確認並認證顧客用以交換現金的賭場貨幣。以如上面描述同樣的方式，當在與位在該碼房之來源相關聯的磁場附近時，若於該貨幣上的顏色看來未自一第一顏色改變至第二顏色，該碼房操作員可快速地辨認該貨幣係偽造的並採取適當的行動。 Continuing with the illustrative example, the pigmentation assembly on the gaming currency causes the viewer's eye to change from a first color to a second color when the gaming currency is placed near the magnetic field. When in the vicinity of the magnetic field associated with the source of the betting points 305, 310 and the region 330, if the color on the currency does not appear to change, the dealer, the table machine or the security camera can quickly identify the currency as a forgery. And take appropriate action. Another In one embodiment (not shown), the casino code room can incorporate a magnetic field generating device to validate and authenticate the casino currency used by the customer to exchange cash. In the same manner as described above, when in the vicinity of the magnetic field associated with the source of the code room, if the color on the currency does not appear to change from a first color to a second color, the code room operator The currency system can be quickly identified for counterfeiting and appropriate action taken.
於另一實施例，賭桌檯面301包括一具有該顏料之區域335，該顏料係裝配為受自一來源導入之一磁場所影響使得，例如，和許可相關聯的資訊等等，可從視野中隱藏並且僅在該區域係被導入至一磁場才出現。該顏料在該博弈檯面中之融入可藉由在該等用於印刷之油墨中完成且因而當該磁場被導入時，可允許一信息的展示。例如，該檯面的顏色可改變為另一可見的顏色，其中該第二顏色係取決於該磁場的規格。此特性可用為一安全特性，但亦可能在該檯面上顯示操作信息或是營銷信息。於另一實施例，該顏料可被融入在一輪盤檯面上，具有顏料嵌入於該印製的數字連結至在該檯面之下的一線圈或天線矩陣，而可用來凸顯中獎號碼。作為一於此技術領域中具有通常知識者將會理解，該概念可應用於許多遊戲及牌桌。 In another embodiment, the table top 301 includes a region 335 having the pigment, the pigment being assembled to be influenced by a magnetic field introduced from a source such as, for example, information associated with the license, etc., from the field of view It is hidden and only appears when the area is introduced into a magnetic field. The incorporation of the pigment in the gaming table can be accomplished by performing in the inks used for printing and thus allowing the display of a message when the magnetic field is introduced. For example, the color of the countertop can be changed to another visible color, wherein the second color is dependent on the specification of the magnetic field. This feature can be used as a security feature, but it is also possible to display operational or marketing information on the deck. In another embodiment, the pigment can be incorporated into a roulette table with a matrix of pigments embedded in the printed circuit coupled to a coil or antenna matrix below the mesa for highlighting the winning number.

第6及7圖示例併入顏料之博弈配件的例子，當該顏料於一磁場之附近時其呈現自一第一顏色改變至一第二顏色。如同顯示的一般，第6圖之骰子可具有顏料併入至骰子點405中，而第7圖的紙牌可將該顏料併入至位於該卡面背面的設計。對於顯示於第6圖的骰子，該顏料亦可嵌入於立 方體的原料中供於一更為容易的認證方法。另一實施例(未顯示)可將該顏料併入至一玩家忠誠卡片，其係用於現金、參與付費(pay-for-play)、兌換(redemption)或類似者。因此，若一玩家試圖使用具有該對磁場敏感之顏料的玩家忠誠卡片，尤其若其係使用作為一現金等價物，該賭場僱員可藉由使該卡片通過一磁場來影響該併入至該卡片之顏料並觀察該自一第一顏色至一第二顏色的改變，來快速地認證該卡片的有效性。 Figures 6 and 7 illustrate an example of a game accessory incorporating a pigment that exhibits a change from a first color to a second color when the pigment is in the vicinity of a magnetic field. As shown generally, the dice of Figure 6 can have a pigment incorporated into the dice spot 405, while the card of Figure 7 can incorporate the pigment into the design located on the back of the card face. For the tweezers shown in Figure 6, the pigment can also be embedded in the stand The raw material of the cube is used for an easier authentication method. Another embodiment (not shown) may incorporate the pigment into a player loyalty card that is used for cash, pay-for-play, redemption or the like. Thus, if a player attempts to use a player loyalty card with the magnetic field sensitive pigment, especially if it is used as a cash equivalent, the casino employee can influence the incorporation into the card by passing the card through a magnetic field. The pigment is observed for changes from a first color to a second color to quickly authenticate the card.
第8圖示例一可攜式裝置600的例子，該可攜式裝置600可用於產生一磁場區域605，其係用於與例如，一具有由顏料所形成之一表面點615及一邊緣點620之賭場籌碼一起使用，當該顏料於一磁場之附近時，其呈現自一第一顏色改變至一第二顏色。一於此技術領域中具有通常知識者將認知的是，可使用裝置600之裝配的任何變化而不背離該裝置所意欲的操作以及使用，諸如一小型手提式裝置可通過該賭場貨幣或一賭場配件之頂部以產生校驗該貨幣或配件真實性的磁場，其中該貨幣或配件併入該對磁場敏感的顏料。 8 illustrates an example of a portable device 600 that can be used to generate a magnetic field region 605 for use with, for example, a surface point 615 and an edge point formed by a pigment. The casino chips of 620 are used together, and when the pigment is in the vicinity of a magnetic field, it appears to change from a first color to a second color. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that any variation in the assembly of device 600 can be used without departing from the intended operation and use of the device, such as a small portable device that can pass through the casino currency or a casino. The top of the accessory produces a magnetic field that verifies the authenticity of the currency or accessory, wherein the currency or accessory incorporates the magnetic field sensitive pigment.
