Message: [QUOTE="gabethegimp, post: 4350769, member: 315593"] A lot of card rooms that televise their games use RFID technology to keep track of stack sizes and the cards dealt. There are sensors at each position on the table built into the table itself. While the chips remain about the same size, the cards with RFID implants are generally noticeably thicker and the cardrooms ask that you take a little more care when peeling when they're in use. Think of it sort of like "touchless payments" at supermarket checkouts. Same sort of thing just used differently. Hole card cameras are more of a production quality thing for games that have rfid or, for coverage that doesn't have the funds to implement rfid. A lot of casinos in general use rfid chips to ensure they're not counterfeit and to also see where their chips are on the floor. They can use that information to help with floor design, try to max out spending etc. [/QUOTE]
