Abstract
A wagering monitoring system configured to detect player wagers at a roulette table. A table having antennas associated with the various wagering areas is provided for the players. A reader connects to each antenna to thereby communicate via the antenna with tokens equipped with an identification element. By monitoring wagers, game play is monitored and processing may occur to track each player wager and the amount wagered by each player. To facilitate play at a roulette table, the identification element associated with each token includes a token color identification code which identifies the color of the token. The token color identification code is associated with a specific player which in turn provides means to associated each wager and a total amount wagered with that player.
