Live chip counts have already came to the UK, Genting Casinos have launched an RF setup in chips and cards which gives a live feed at Liverpool Circus Casino, the tables receive the card information which can the be streamed in a time delayed live stream on the internet, the chips also will have RF tags, so the pot and stacks are all counted in real time, even counting the chips in play will be real time, instead of (entries x initial chips + rb's/ao's), The tournament software so far does not support the technology but apparently will be rolled out eventually, so the TD can access specific information on stacks, etc from the the desktop.
