Abstract
A bet sensor for determining the value of a wager includes an at least partially transparent cover having a bet placement surface configured and oriented to support a stack of gaming tokens thereon. The bet sensor includes a mirror arrangement disposed on an opposing side of the at least partially transparent cover from the bet placement surface. The mirror arrangement is located and configured to provide a view greater than 180 degrees of a lateral side surface of the stack of gaming tokens when supported on the bet placement surface. Another bet sensor may include an at least partially transparent cover having a bet placement surface and an image sensor located substantially directly below the bet placement surface, the image sensor configured to capture a view greater than 180 degrees of a lateral side surface of the stack of gaming tokens when supported on the bet placement surface.
