RFID-Enabled Gaming Chips
Security Technology
Casino gaming chips containing embedded RFID tags that store a unique identifier, denomination, casino identity, date of issue, and other security data. RFID chips can be read automatically by antennas installed in gaming tables and cage equipment, enabling real-time tracking of chip movements, counterfeit detection, and accurate wager recording. Each chip’s unique ID allows the casino to track its entire lifecycle from manufacture to destruction.
In practice
High-value chips (commonly $100 and above in Asian markets) are typically RFID-enabled; the embedded tags are tamper-resistant and self-destruct if removal is attempted.
