Chip tracking is a technology used by modern casinos to enhance the supervision of gambling activities. In this system, betting chips are embedded with microcircuitry that interacts with electronic sensors integrated into the gaming tables.1
This technology allows the casino to monitor the exact amounts wagered on a minute-by-minute basis. By tracking these transactions in real time, the electronic systems can automatically alert casino staff to any anomalies or irregularities in betting patterns, providing a higher level of oversight than manual observation alone.1
