Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de suivre l'historique d'un joueur à une table de jeux (20). Ce dispositif comprend un plateau à jetons (10) comprenant une pluralité de rainures (12). Un capteur (30) placé dans chaque rainure (12) mesure la quantité de jetons (14) dans la rainure (12) et produit un signal de données correspondant à cette quantité. Un processeur (40) présentant une première structure de données (50) stockant les constantes pour chaque rainure (12) reçoit le signal transmit par le capteur (30) et calcule une valeur totale de départ avant que la mise du joueur soit arrêtée et une valeur totale finale après que la mise du joueur est arrêtée. La différence entre le total de départ et le total final est stockée dans un enregistrement de données dans une seconde structure de données (52) correspondant à la position (22) du joueur sélectionnée. Un sélecteur (42) communiquant avec le processeur (40) permet à celui qui mise de sélectionner la position (22) du joueur active.
