A casino is a place where you can enjoy games such as poker, blackjack table games and slot machines. Generally, in a casino, a plurality of games are performed by using a casino chip as currency. Casino tables are of course used for table games that many players can enjoy at once.

However, in the conventional casino table, the dealer manually checks the betting amount, confirms the multiplication rate, and calculates the dividend and pays the player. For example, if a player wins the game and the dealer pays a multiple of the dividend, the dealer will classify the casino chips of the betting amount by type, and the same number of casino chips After picking them out by type on the chip tray and stacking them at the same height next to the betting liquid, confirm this and give the player the bet and the dividend.

Since this process depends on the proficiency of the dealer, there may be a problem of overpayment in which the player pays more money than the dividend payable due to the intention or mistake of the dealer.
