METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ALLOCATING LOYALTY REWARD POINTS TO GAMING PLAYERS

摘要

A system for allocating loyalty reward points to a player at a gaming area, where the player has a loyalty reward card with player details recorded thereon. The player further being associated with uniquely identifiable casino chips each having an electronic identification means. The loyalty reward points allocation system has a recording means located in the vicinity of the gaming area for reading and recording the player details on the loyalty reward card, and a casino chip detection means for detecting player casino chips located in play in the gaming area. The first casino chip detection means is operatively connected to the recording means such that at the completion of bet placement the value of player casino chips in play in the gaming area detected by the first casino chip detection means is communicated to the recording means thus enabling the value of bets placed by individual players to be calculated and thereby determining the allocation of loyalty reward points to individual players for the particular bet placement.
