Abstract
A system includes a smart table having RFID sensor(s) configured to detect RFID-enabled chips, including a wager area sensor positioned beneath a wager area on a surface of the smart table. The smart table also includes wireless beacon device(s) configured to wirelessly connect with a mobile device of a player. The system includes processor(s) executing instructions configured to: detect, via the at least one wireless beacon device, presence of the mobile device of the player near the at least one wireless beacon device; identify a player identity of the player based on the detected presence of the mobile device; detect an initial wager provided by the player at the smart table based at least in part on sensor data received by the wager area sensor, the sensor data identifying presence of RFID-enabled chip(s) near the wager area; and initiate tracking of a play session associated with the player.
