1. An inspection system of a gaming chip which is to be used for a table game and includes a radio tag, the inspection system comprising:
a reading device configured to read radio tags of gaming chips to be inspected and acquire gaming chip information of the gaming chips to be inspected;
a radio tag information database configured to store information of the radio tags of the gaming chips; and
a determining unit configured to:
count a number of the gaming chips to be inspected based on the gaming chip information acquired by the reading device;
determine that there is an abnormal gaming chip among the gaming chips to be inspected when the number of the gaming chips obtained as a result of counting does not match a physical number of the gaming chips to be inspected, wherein the physical number is a number of the gaming chips to be optically detected and determined based on a height of a stacked plurality of the gaming chips to be optically detected;
identify the abnormal gaming chip by:
comparing the gaming chip information of all gaming chips to be inspected with the information of the radio tags stored in the radio tag information database, and
identifying the abnormal gaming chip as a gaming chip whose respective information of the radio tag is not stored in the radio tag information database; and
output a determining result.
