South Korean IT solutions provider BGNT debuted its newest smart casino table at G2E @ the Philippines, held in Manila December 3-4. Working with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, the table gives operators real-time access to data that once was available only to dealers, from movement of gaming chips, game results and customer comps to less or over payment and player’s cheating.
The RFID Smart Table also is able to manage and process big data about customer’s preference for game play and the latest gaming trend in the industry, the company said.
“More and more casinos are now putting RFID tags in gaming chips and installing smart tables to read the chips,” commented an unnamed industry expert. “On a rise in global demand, multiple companies have been eager to develop own smart tables, but it’s not easy due to the reading speed and interference problem
BGNT’s unmanned game table is capable of reading “more than 700 gaming chips in just four seconds and betting in one second,” said Seo Suk-jin, chief executive of BGNT. “Our Smart Table has the same shape as the typical gaming tables used in casinos, bringing no changes to the gaming operation,” he added.
Seo also showed confidence about the table, saying “casinos will be able to enhance its credentials by adding transparency and accuracy with the smart table and further to improve sales and prevent tricks and crimes.”
The latest smart table is the second version of BGNT’s RFID-based casino table after the one unveiled last year. The company now is planning to add more lineup targeting the U.S., the world’s largest blackjack market, for the next G2E, to be held in Macau next May.
