Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing an electronic identifier pellet configured to be embedded in a gaming token having a top face and a bottom face parallel thereto and a cavity that opens to at least one of the two faces, the pellet including an electronic circuit, the method comprising: forming a pair of planar plastic film layers; perforating at least one of said film layers to define at least one hole configured to facilitate the flow of a deforming plug into and through the at least one hole, wherein the at least one hole is configured such that the deforming plug material flows within the cavity of the gaming token so as to fix the position of the envelope within the cavity of the gaming token, and wherein the flow of material into and through the at least one hole reduces the stresses from compressing the deforming plug on a surface of at least one of said pair of planar plastic film layers; and assembling the electronic circuit between said plastic film layers to provide an envelope enclosing said circuit.
