Abstract
When the same gaming chip is identified in betting regions, a betting apparatus identifies an intermediate position of the betting regions as a tentative position of the gaming chip. The betting apparatus determines whether or not gaming chips are placed on the same betting region based on a distance between tentative positions of the gaming chips. When a gaming chip is identified in one betting region, the betting apparatus determines that the gaming chip is placed on a center position of the betting region. When gaming chips are not placed on the same betting region, the betting apparatus determines that the gaming chips are placed on tentative positions of the gaming chips. When gaming chips are placed on the same betting region, the betting apparatus determines that the gaming chips are placed on an intermediation position on a line connecting tentative positions of the gaming chips.
