Abstract

A note validating and storage assembly for a gaming table having a table top includes a storage box for storing notes received at the gaming table. A validator is disposed adjacent to the storage box for validating the authenticity of the notes and determining the value of the notes. A controller having a memory is in operative communication with the validator for receiving and storing data corresponding to the authenticity and value of the notes. A separator apparatus is disposed adjacent to the validator. The separator apparatus grips one of the notes and separates the one note from a plurality of notes. A holding area is operatively connected to the separator and configured for temporarily holding at least one note in a folded configuration. The holding area is disposed below the table top such that notes may be pushed through a note entry slot in the table top and into the storage area with a plunger. A method of tracking the value of notes received from a player is also disclosed.

Technical field
Relate generally to of the present invention is played, and relates in particular to the apparatus and method of reception on table for game, checking and storing bill.
Background technology
Public place of entertainment requires on table for game for a long time with chip monetization utensil.Banker must become chip with player's currency exchange, to use on table for game.Usually with plunger currency is pushed security personnel's cash cassette along the notch on the table for game.Cash cassette on every table for game periodically disconnects with whole box gives " counting chamber " that content is counted.The exact value of currency is only just known behind counting in the cash cassette.
Along with " in real time " accounting in the public place of entertainment is more and more wished in the reinforcement of auditing standard, thereby the exact value of the interior currency of cash cassette and other bills is followed the tracks of in hope.Known the system and method that the value of bill in the various tracking money boxs is arranged.In the U.S. Patent No. 5,957,776 (' 776 patent) of authorizing Hoehne and the U.S. Patent No. 6,745,887 (' 887 patent) of authorizing people such as Heidel, two kinds of such system and methods have been disclosed.
' 776 patents have disclosed a kind of table for game tracker of following the tracks of the value of bill in the cash cassette.This system comprises a control module and the button a plurality of and efficient communication of table control module.When the player receives bill, banker is with the value of these buttons input player position and bill.The value of player position and bill is stored in the control module.With plunger bill is pushed cash cassette.The system of ' 776 patents does not have the ability of the value of checking and definite bill.In addition, system is easy to occur because operator's mistake that mistake touches the button and causes causes being stored in the bill exact value accounting error in the storage box.
' 887 patents have disclosed a kind of note validating device that is used for table for game.This device comprises the baffle plate that holds the bill that many Zhang Pings put.Separation vessel is pulled out sola bill from baffle plate.This bill is drawn into the authenticity of definite bill and the bill Discr. of value.Reportedly give cash cassette with valid ballot, and invalid bill is delivered to the rejection groove.Baffle plate, separation vessel and bill Discr. all are configured on the table top of table for game.The expensive real estate of table on the top that this has caused bulky hold facility is not suitable for dice game such as shaking the elbows and other will leave the recreation that the table for game edge is installed with security personnel's cash cassette.In addition, because bill lies on the baffle plate that is higher than a top, this is to bill is pushed so that bill leaves a kind of change of difficulty of the conventional procedure at a top as early as possible along groove.And all actually casino game tables of this conventional procedure use.
Of the present invention at be exactly above-mentioned one or more problems.
Summary of the invention
In a first aspect of the present invention, provide a kind of note validating and memory storage that is used for table for game.This device comprises the storage box that is stored in the bill that respectively has associated value that receives on the table for game.It is adjacent with storage box that validator is configured to, and is used for verifying the authenticity of bill and the value of definite bill.It is adjacent with validator that tripping device is configured to, and is used for the branch drawing of bill of exchange.Storage area effectively is connected with separation vessel, is configured to temporarily deposit at least one bill with collapsed shape.
In a second aspect of the present invention, provide a kind of table for game.This table for game comprises the table top that limits the bill inlet slot.The bill inlet slot receives at least one bill that respectively has associated value.Storage area is configured under the bill inlet slot, is used for temporarily depositing at least one bill.It is adjacent with validator that tripping device is configured to, and is used for the branch drawing of bill of exchange.It is adjacent with tripping device that validator is configured to, and is used for receiving bill, the authenticity of checking bill and the value of definite bill.It is adjacent with validator that storage box is configured to, and is used for receiving and storing bill.
In a third aspect of the present invention, provide the method for the bill that a kind of processing receives on table for game.This method comprises reception and deposits the step of many bills and the step that sola bill is separated from many bills with collapsed shape.The authenticity of checking bill and the value of definite bill.The value of record bill is stored in bill in the storage box.
In a fourth aspect of the present invention, provide the method for the value of the bill that a kind of tracking receives from the player.This method comprises the identity of determining the player and the step that writes down player's identity.Receive the value that at least one bill also determined this at least one bill automatically from the player.Write down the value of bill, and it is associated with player's identity.
