Casinos worldwide continue to increase their desire for RFID technology. An RFID chip looks just like a regular one, except it contains an RFID tag embedded inside it that is encoded with its monetary value and other data. It also has a radio device that broadcasts secret serial numbers. Special equipment is installed into the casino’s computer systems that identify the legitimate chips and detects the fake ones.
How does RFID Work?
Each RFID-enabled casino chip, plaque or jeton has a unique tag that is encoded with its monetary value and other data, it can be instantly identified and validated when it comes in contact with an RFID reader. This makes RFID currency an ideal way to streamline and improve the accuracy of chip counting and cage inventory procedures while also providing you with a level of currency security that is practically impossible to breach.

RFID Benefits – Go Far Beyond Security
- Chip security – This obvious benefit is related to keeping counterfeiters from cashing in fake chips. Because of the RFID tags, if a chip is stolen, its ID can be flagged as stolen in the casino’s databases, and the chip could be easily deactivated, preventing it from being redeemable for cash.
- Game security – 1. Dealer mistakes – RFID technology can also be used to catch dealer mistakes; 2. Dealer theft – It can also catch dealer theft; 3. Cheating players – RFID technology can help casinos catch players who sneak extra chips onto the table after hands are dealt. It can also analyze game activity against the expected statistical outcomes and flag players that are on a suspicious winning streak.
- Profit & productivity optimization– Actually, they do much more than that. RFID chips are a form of security, but they are also an amazingly precise way of measuring activity in the casino.
- Chip Inventory– Counting RFID allows casinos to improve the accuracy of the chip counting and cage inventory procedures.
