Abstract
A system for automatically monitoring playing and wagering of a game includes a chip tray reader that automatically images the contents of a chip tray, to periodically determine the number and value of chips in the chip tray, and to compare the change in contents of the chip tray to the outcome of game play for verifying that the proper amounts have been paid out and collected. A table monitor may be positioned in the chip tray to automatically image the activity occurring at a gaming table.
