Club Pierre Charron's SMART RFID technology ensures that cash-game players enjoy a smooth game and a top-quality playing environment. Interviews with Christophe Leparoux, Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing at GPI, a CPC partner, and Ziad Farhoud, Operations Manager in charge of technology at Club Pierre Charron.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What does GPI do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christophe Leparoux : Since 1925, GPI (then Bourgogne & Grasset) has been producing and marketing chips and plaques for casinos worldwide. From the very beginning, the innovative technologies developed by the company have enabled it to manufacture high-security products guaranteeing casinos optimum protection against the risk of counterfeiting. Chips and plaques are the \"currency\" of gaming establishments, and protecting their integrity is essential.<\/p>\n

Over the decades, in addition to its confidential and intrinsically highly secure manufacturing process, GPI has developed a variety of security features incorporated into its products: UV inks, infrared marking, holograms, secret inks and more. More recently, GPI has reinforced its position as world leader with the integration of RFID technology, which has become a standard in the table games industry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is SMART RFID?<\/strong><\/p>\n

CL : SMART RFID involves integrating a 13.56 Mhz RFID chip or tag inside the chip, without altering its characteristics or performance. Each chip then has its own identity in the form of a unique, forgery-proof and non-reproducible serial number, protected by various coding and data encryption methods.<\/p>\n

In addition, a wide range of readers enables the technology to be deployed in different forms, anywhere in the casino, while a software suite developed by GPI enables tags to be authenticated and validated, and chip flows to be monitored and controlled.<\/p>\n

When chips are placed on an antenna concealed under the table carpet, in a cash box, at the cash desk or in the reserve, they are recognized and identified in the club\/casino's dedicated database. The number and total value of chips read are instantly displayed, along with a breakdown by value. The RFID technology used by GPI enables instant 3D reading of several thousand chips at a time.<\/p>\n

The data collected at various points in the casino (tables, cash registers, storerooms, vaults, etc.) enables chip authentication, real-time inventory, tracking of transactions, table performance and games, and provides statistical tools previously unavailable to traditional table games.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In which areas does RFID technology play a role for Club Charron?<\/strong><\/p>\n

CL : Several Parisian clubs have adopted our SMART RFID technology, including Club Circus and Paris \u00c9lys\u00e9es Club, but Club Pierre Charron was a real precursor, mainly with the Poker-RFID application. Right from the start of the project, the management team fully understood the benefits of integrating RFID into its chip allocation, and we developed a real partnership to deploy this technology not only at the cash desks, but also on all the cash-game and traditional gaming tables.<\/p>\n

Club Pierre Charron is undoubtedly one of Europe's most advanced RFID facilities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How does GPI's technological contribution improve the cash-game experience at a club like Charron?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ziad Farhoud : The contribution of SMART RFID technology to cash-game poker is undeniable, with automatic and continuous reading of the pot, as well as automatic calculation of the payout.<\/p>\n

Today, the results are more than convincing, with a tenfold increase in the number of hands per hour, and a real enthusiasm among players for this innovative technology, which helps to speed up play and avoid the risk of error associated with manual counting, while improving user-friendliness by displaying amounts and statistical data for pots, withdrawals and winnings.<\/p>\n

At the cash desks, RFID technology greatly enhances transaction security. This technology is part of a complete digital circuit, operated exclusively by Club Pierre Charron.<\/p>\n

In this way, the entire poker management process is simplified, offering customers a \"seamless\" experience. From entering the establishment to registering at the table or changing seats, via the cashier and chip banking.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
