RFID Gaming Chips and Readers
CHIP READERS
In order to implement the use of the Safechip™, Smartchip™,
or Chipsoft™ in a gaming room, GPI SAS has developed
various readers. The different reader types are for different
uses, but all GPI SAS readers will collect information and
send data to the dealer, pit boss, inspector, cashier and
general management.
CAGE READER (Click

A cage reader offers vast advantages for the cashier and
top management combined with the adequate software which is
not provided by GPI® USA.
ADVANTAGES
- Gives cashiers an easy and efficient tool to eliminate
human errors from the chip flow and cash flow control at
the cage.
- Gives management the necessary information base to keep
track of cage transactions on a ongoing basis as well as
historical basis.
- Allows automatic and highly reliable filtering of incoming
chips to identify counterfeited chips or invalidated chips.
- Allows entering additional data (such as client’s
name) into the memory of several chips simultaneously in
a few seconds.
- Easy to install and to integrate into the existing casino
information system with no reduction of cashier’s efficiency.
The cage reader unit is made out of a large antenna which
is embedded and hidden in the cash counter, connected to GPI®
USA’s CRU (Common Reading Unit). A regular desktop computer,
which is not provided, linked with the casino information
and accounting system will process the information. Any RFID
value chips, plaques or jetons can be placed on the antenna
at random or in a stack of 20 and they will be read simultaneously.
When the chips are placed on the cage reader, additional information
can be entered in the chip’s memory via the cashier’s
keyboard such as player’s name and validation date.
