The inner wall of the shoulder ( 8 ) has a slot-opening ( 12 ) that is closed by a top-hinged flap ( 13 ) that opens inwardly against a spring action under pressure of chips (C) drawn onto the flap ( 13 ) across the table-top ( 9 ) from the betting area ( 3 ). Chips (C) admitted through the opening ( 12 ) fall onto a moving belt ( 15 ) of a conveyor system ( 16 ) leading to a chipping machine ( 18 ) under the table ( 1 ) for collection and sorting. In a modification, the chips (C) fall down onto the belt ( 15 ) via an inwardly inclined chute ( 22 ) under the table ( 20 ).
