1. A game token storage system comprising:
a game token storage comprising:
an upper storage, in which game tokens, in which respective radio frequency (RF) tags are embedded and to which respective identification information is assigned, are storable; and
a lower storage in which the game tokens are storable and which can be in an open state and a closed state;
a first reader, wherein the first reader is configured to read the identification information assigned to the game tokens from the RF tags of the game tokens while the game tokens are on the lower storage;
a second reader that is a different reader from the first reader, wherein the second reader is configured to read the identification information of the game tokens while the game tokens are on the upper storage; and
a controller, wherein:
the controller is configured to determine a total amount or the identification information of the game tokens placed on the game token storage by using the identification information read by the first reader and the identification information read by the second reader, and
the first reader is configured so that the RF tags of the game tokens placed on the upper storage are not readable by the first reader at least the lower storage is in the closed state, or the second reader is configured so that the identification information of the game tokens placed on the lower storage are not readable by the second reader at least the lower storage is in the closed state.
