- First, a game played in an amusement place having a gaming table 4 will be described. In the present embodiment, an example in which the gaming table 4 is a baccarat table and a baccarat game is played will be described, but the present invention can also be applied to other amusement places or other games.
-
FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating an amusement place equipped with a chip recognizing andlearning system 10 according to a first embodiment. As illustrated inFIG. 1 , in the amusement place, the approximately semicircular gaming table 4 and a plurality ofchairs 201 arranged side by side so as to face a dealer D along an arc of the gaming table 4 are disposed. The number ofchairs 201 is arbitrary, and in the example illustrated inFIG. 1 , sixchairs 201 are arranged side by side. In addition, a bet area BA is provided on the gaming table 4 so as to correspond to each of thechairs 201. That is, in the illustrated example, the six bet areas BA are arranged side by side in an arc shape. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , a customer (player) C sits on each of thechairs 201. The customer (player) C makes a bet (hereinafter, referred to as “bet”) by disposing chips W to be piled up in the bet area BA provided in front of thechair 201 that the customer (player) sits with respect to whether a player (PLAYER) will win the baccarat game, a banker (BANKER) will win the baccarat game, or the player and the banker will be tied (TIE) with each other as a win/loss result of the baccarat game. - Kinds of the chips W to be bet may be one or plural. In addition, the numbers of the chips W to be bet may be arbitrarily decided by the customer (player) C. The chip recognizing and
learning system 10 according to the present embodiment recognizes the numbers and kinds of the chips W disposed to be piled up. - In order to end the bet by the customer (player) C, the dealer D measures a timing, calls “No More Bet (end of reception of the bet)”, and transversally moves a hand, for example. Then, the dealer D pulls out cards one by one from a card shooter device S to the gaming table 4. As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , a first card becomes a card of the player (PLAYER), a second card becomes a card of the banker (BANKER), a third card becomes a card of the player (PLAYER), and a fourth card becomes a card of the banker (BANKER) (hereinafter, pulling out the first to fourth cards is referred to as “dealing”). - Note that all the cards are pulled out from the card shooter device S with their back surfaces facing upward. For this reason, a rank (number) or a suit (Heart/Diamond/Spade/Clover) of the pulled out cards cannot be grasped from either of the dealer D or the customer (player) C.
- After the fourth card is pulled out, a customer (player) C making a bet on the player (PLAYER) (a customer C making the highest bet in a case where the number of customers making a bet on the PLAYER is plural, or the dealer D in a case where a customer making a bet on the PLAYER does not exist) overturns the first and third cards with the back surfaces facing upward. Likewise, a customer (player) C making a bet on the banker (BANKER) (a player C making the highest bet in a case where the number of customers making a bet on the BANKER is plural, or the dealer D in a case where a customer making a bet on the BANKER does not exist) overturns the second and fourth cards (in general, overturning the cards with the back surfaces facing upward is referred to as “squeeze”).
- Then, a fifth card and a sixth card are pulled out by the dealer D on the basis of the rank (number) of the first to fourth cards and a detailed rule of the baccarat game, and each of the fifth card and a sixth card becomes a card of the player (PLAYER) or the banker (BANKER). Likewise, the customer (player) C making a bet on the player (PLAYER) squeezes the card becoming the card of the player (PLAYER), and the customer (player) making a bet on the banker (BANKER) squeezes the card becoming the card of the banker (BANKER).
- A time required after the first to fourth cards are pulled out and the fifth and sixth cards are squeezed until a win/loss result is found is a time attractive to the customer (player) C.
- Further, depending on the rank (number) of the cards, win/loss may be determined in the first to fourth cards, or may be determined in the fifth card or the sixth card. The dealer D grasps whether or not the win/loss is determined or the win/loss result on the basis of the rank (number) of the squeezed cards, and presses a win/loss result display button on the card shooter device S to perform an operation such as displaying the win/loss result on a monitor in order to inform the customer (player) C of the win/loss result.
- At the same time, the win/loss result of the game is determined by a win/loss determining unit of the card shooter device S. In a case where the dealer D attempts to pull out a card without displaying the win/loss result even though the win/loss has been determined, it becomes an error. The card shooter device S detects the error, and outputs an error signal. Finally, the dealer D performs settlement on stakes by the customers (players) C during a period in which the win/loss result is displayed, and pays the stakes to a winning customer (player) C and retrieves the stakes from a losing customer (player) C. After the settlement is completed, the display of the win/loss result ends, and a bet of the next game starts.
- A flow of the baccarat game is widely performed in a general casino, and the card shooter device S is an existing card shooter device having a structure in which the cards are pulled out with a hand of the dealer D, configured to read out the pulled-out cards, and having a result display button or a result display unit to have a function of performing determination of win/loss or display of a win/loss result. In a general casino floor, the card shooter device S, the monitor, and the like are disposed in each of a plurality of gaming tables 4 arranged side by side, and cards to be used are supplied and operated in a package or set unit or a carton unit to each gaming table 4 or a cabinet disposed below each gaming table 4.
- The chip recognizing and
learning system 10 according to the present embodiment relates to a system for recognizing and learning the chips W disposed to be piled up in the bet area BA by the customer (the player) C, and more particularly to a system for recognizing and learning the numbers and/or kinds of the chips W. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , in the present embodiment, amonitoring camera 212 capturing an image of a state of the chips W disposed to be piled up in the bet area BA is provided outside the gaming table 4. In addition, each chip W is provided with a radio frequency identification (RFID), and achip tray 23 managed by the dealer D is provided with anRFID reading device 22 reading the RFIDs of the chips W in thechip tray 23. - The chip recognizing and
learning system 10 according to the present embodiment is communicably connected to each of themonitoring camera 212 and theRFID reading device 22. -
FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the chip recognizing andlearning system 10 according to the present embodiment. - As illustrated in
FIG. 3 , the chip recognizing andlearning system 10 has agame recording device 11, achip determining device 12, ateaching device 13, and acontrol device 14. Note that at least some components of the chip recognizing andlearning system 10 are implemented by a computer. - The
game recording device 11 includes a fixed data storage such as a hard disk, for example. Thegame recording device 11 records the state of the chips W piled up on the gaming table 4 as an image captured by thecamera 212. Note that the image may be a moving image or may be a continuous still image. - The
game recording device 11 may record the image acquired from thecamera 212 after giving, to the image, an index or a time, or a tag specifying a retrieval scene or a payment scene of the chips W, such that thechip determining device 12 to be described below can analyze a record of the game. - The
chip determining device 12 includes anartificial intelligence device 12 a performing image recognition by, for example, a deep learning technique, and analyzes the image of the state of the chips W recorded in thegame recording device 11 to determine the numbers and kinds of the chips W bet by the customers (players) C. Thechip determining device 12 may further determine positions in the bet areas BA of the chips W bet by the customers (players) C. - The
chip determining device 12 may analyze the image of the state of the chips W recorded in thegame recording device 11 to determine the numbers and kinds of the chips W in thechip tray 23 before settlement of each game. - As illustrated in
FIG. 3 , thechip determining device 12 outputs a determining result to anoutput device 15. Theoutput device 15 may output the determining result of thechip determining device 12 as text information to the monitor on the gaming table 4 or as audio information to a headset or the like of the dealer D. - The
control device 14 is a device determining whether or not the determining result of thechip determining device 12 is correct. Thecontrol device 14 grasps the actual total amount V0 of the chips W in thechip tray 23, when retrieval of all the chips W (losing chips) bet by the losing customer (player) C ends. - In the present embodiment, the
control device 14 acquires information of the RFIDs of the chips W in thechip tray 23 from theRFID reading device 22, determines kinds and the numbers of the chips W in thechip tray 23 on the basis of the acquired information of the RFIDs, and grasps the actual total amount V0. - In addition, the
control device 14 acquires the determining result from thechip determining device 12, and calculates the total amount V1 from the kinds and the numbers of the chips W in thechip tray 23 before the settlement of each game and calculates the total amount (that is, an increased amount in thechip tray 23 in the game) V2 of the chips W bet by the losing player C from the positions, the kinds, and the numbers of the chips W bet by each player C, on the basis of the acquired determining result. Then, thecontrol device 14 adds the increased amount V2 of thechip tray 23 in the game to the total amount V1 of the chips W in thechip tray 23 before the settlement of each game to calculate the necessary total amount V3 (=V1+V2) of the chips in thechip tray 23. - The
control device 14 compares the necessary total amount V3 of the chips W in thechip tray 23 and the actual total amount V0 of the chips W in thechip tray 23 with each other, and determines that there is a doubt for an error in the determining result of thechip determining device 12 when there is a difference between the necessary total amount V3 and the actual total amount V0 (V3≠V0). On the other hand, thecontrol device 14 determines that the determining result of thechip determining device 12 is correct when the necessary total amount V3 coincides with the actual total amount V0 (V3=V0). - When the retrieval of the chips W from the losing player C ends, a payment of the chips W to the winning player C is made. The
control device 14 calculates the total amount of the chips W bet by the winning player C and an amount V4 that should be paid for the total amount of the chips W bet by the winning player C from the positions, the kinds, and the numbers of the chips W bet by each player C. Thecontrol device 14 grasps the actual total amount after being decreased due to the payment of the chips W in thechip tray 23, determines whether or not the actual total amount coincides with the amount V4 that should be paid, and displays a lamp indicating whether or not the actual total amount coincides with the amount V4 depending on a determining result. - The
control device 14 compares the necessary total amount V5 (=V1+V2−V4) of the chips W in thechip tray 23 and the actual total amount of the chips W in thechip tray 23 after being increased due to the retrieval of the chips and decreased due to the payment of the chips with each other, and determines that there is a doubt for an error in the determining result of thechip determining device 12 when there is a difference between the necessary total amount V5 and the actual total amount. Thecontrol device 14 determines that the determining result of thechip determining device 12 is correct when the necessary total amount V5 coincides with the actual total amount. - With respect to each determination on whether or not the total amounts coincide with each other, for example, when the total amounts coincide with each other, a green lamp may be turned on, and when the total amounts do not coincide with each other, a red lamp may be turned on.
- The
teaching device 13 acquires information on whether or not the determining result of thechip determining device 12 is correct from thecontrol device 14. In the case where it is determined by thecontrol device 14 that there is the doubt for the error in the determining result of thechip determining device 12, theteaching device 13 may input the image used for the determination (including the doubt for the error) of thechip determining device 12 and the correct numbers and correct kinds of the chips W for the error as teaching data to theartificial intelligence device 12 a of thechip determining device 12 to allow theartificial intelligence device 12 a to perform learning. Note that a person actually confirms the image to teach the correct numbers and the correct kinds of the chips W for the error to theteaching device 13. That is, theteaching device 13 learns the correct numbers and the correct kinds of the chips W for the error by the teaching of the person through a device teaching an image at the time of the error and the correct numbers of the chips at the time of the error. - When it is determined by the
control device 14 that the determining result of thechip determining device 12 is correct, theteaching device 13 may further input an image used for the (correct) determination of thechip determining device 12 and the numbers and kinds of the chips W of the determining result of the chip determining device 12 (that is, the correct numbers and the correct kinds of the chips W) as teaching data to theartificial intelligence device 12 a of thechip determining device 12 to allow theartificial intelligence device 12 a to perform learning. - The
teaching device 13 can improve accuracy of the determination of the chips W by thechip determining device 12 by repeatedly performing a teaching action of inputting the teaching data to theartificial intelligence device 12 a of thechip determining device 12 to allow theartificial intelligence device 12 a to learn the teaching data. Since theartificial intelligence device 12 a of thechip determining device 12 analyzes the image of the state of the chips W to perform the determination of the chips W, even when some of the plurality of the chips W put on the gaming table 4 are partially or entirely hidden due to a blind spot of thecamera 212, theartificial intelligence device 12 a of thechip determining device 12 can determine kinds, the numbers, and positions of the bet chips W by repeatedly learning such an incomplete image. - Next, an operation (a chip recognizing and learning method) of the chip recognizing and
learning system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference toFIG. 4 . - As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , when the customer (player) C disposes the chips W to be piled up in the bet area BA of the gaming table 4 (bets the chips W), the state of the piled-up chips W is captured as the image by thecamera 212, and the image is recorded in the game recording device 11 (Step S31). - Then, the image recorded in the
game recording device 11 is analyzed by thechip determining device 12, and the numbers and the kinds of the chips W bet by the customer (player) C are determined (Step S32). Note that the image analyzed by thechip determining device 12 may be selected on the basis of the index, the time, or the tag specifying the retrieval scene or the payment scene of the chips W given to the image by thegame recording device 11. - In Step S32, by analyzing the image of the state of the chips W recorded in the
game recording device 11 by thechip determining device 12, the positions of the chips W bet by the customer (player) C in the bet area BA may be determined as well as the numbers and the kinds of the chips W bet by the customer (player) C, or the numbers and the kinds of the chips W in thechip tray 23 before the settlement of each game may be determined. - The determining result of the
chip determining device 12 is output to theoutput device 15. The determining result of thechip determining device 12 may be output, by theoutput device 15, as the text information to the monitor on the gaming table 4 or as the audio information to the headset or the like of the dealer D. - The determining result of the
chip determining device 12 is also transmitted to thecontrol device 14, and it is determined by thecontrol device 14 whether or not the determining result of thechip determining device 12 is correct (Step S33). - In the case where it is determined by the
control device 14 that there is the doubt for the error in the determining result of the chip determining device 12 (No in Step S34), the image used for the determination (including the doubt for the error) of thechip determining device 12 and the correct numbers and the correct kinds of the chips W for the error are input as the teaching data from theteaching device 13 to theartificial intelligence device 12 a of thechip determining device 12, and theartificial intelligence device 12 a performs the learning (Step S36). - On the other hand, in the case where it is determined by the
control device 14 that the determining result of thechip determining device 12 is correct (Yes in Step S34), the operation of the chip recognizing andlearning system 10 in the game ends. - As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the case where it is determined that there is the doubt for the error in the determining result of the
chip determining device 12, theteaching device 13 inputs the image used for the determination of thechip determining device 12 and the correct numbers and the correct kinds of the chips W for the error as the teaching data to theartificial intelligence device 12 a to allow theartificial intelligence device 12 a to perform the learning. Therefore, theartificial intelligence device 12 a can efficiently learn an image pattern for which accuracy of the determination of thechip determining device 12 is relatively low to intensively improve the accuracy of the determination of thechip determining device 12 for the image pattern. By repetition of the teaching and learning, thechip determining device 12 can accurately recognize the chips W bet by the player C in whatever state the chips W are piled up. - In addition, according to the present embodiment, the
control device 14 grasps the actual total amount V0 of the chips W in thechip tray 23 when the retrieval of all the losing chips bet by each player C ends, calculates the necessary total amount V3 (=V1+V2) of the chips W in thechip tray 23 by adding the increased amount V2 of thechip tray 23 in the game calculated from the kinds and the numbers of the chips W bet by the losing player C to the total amount V1 of the chips W in thechip tray 23 before the settlement of each game on the basis of the determining result of thechip determining device 12, compares the necessary total amount V3 of the chips W in thechip tray 23 and the actual total amount V0 of the chips W in thechip tray 23 with each other, and determines that there is the doubt for the error in the determining result of thechip determining device 12 when there is the difference between the necessary total amount V3 and the actual total amount V0 (V3≠V0). As a result, it can be automatically determined by thecontrol device 14 whether or not there is the doubt for the error in the determining result of thechip determining device 12. - In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the
control device 14 grasps the actual total amount V0 of the chips W in thechip tray 23 based on the RFIDs provided in the chips W, thecontrol device 14 can automatically grasp the actual total amount V0 of the chips W in thechip tray 23 using the RFIDs to improve measurement accuracy as compared with measurement performed with the naked eyes of the worker. - In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the
game recording device 11 records the image acquired from thecamera 212 after giving, to the image, the index or the time, or the tag specifying the retrieval scene or the payment scene of the chips, thechip determining device 12 can easily specify an image of a state of the chips W that should be analyzed from recorded contents of thegame recording device 11 by using the index, the time, or the tag given to the image to shorten a time required for specifying the image. - In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the
chip determining device 12 can determine the kinds, the numbers, and the positions of the bet chips W even when some of the plurality of the chips W put on the gaming table 4 are partially or entirely hidden due to the blind spot of thecamera 212, particularly in the case where some of the plurality of the chips W put on the gaming table 4 are partially or entirely in the hidden state due to a blind spot of the worker, it is possible to improve the measurement accuracy as compared with the measurement performed with the naked eyes of the worker by allowing thechip determining device 12 to determine the chips W bet by the player C. - Note that various modifications can be made to the embodiment described above. Hereinafter, a modified example will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description and the drawings used in the following description, the same reference numerals as those used for the corresponding components in the embodiment described above will be used for components that can be configured similarly to those of the embodiment described above, and an overlapping description will be omitted.
