1. A method for a processor to operate an RFID-enabled electronic system for facilitating a wagering game, comprising:
receiving, by a processor of the electronic system, first data, the first data identifying actual contents of a game element container as identified, by a game element container RFID antenna comprising a first component of the electronic system, during an inventory scan of the game element container;
receiving, by the processor, second data, the second data indicating expected contents of the game element container for a current game event and based on at least one outcome of the current game event, the second data being derived by the processor from information received from at least one player position RFID antenna comprising a second component of the electronic system;
identifying, by the processor, a variance between the first data and the second data;
correlating, by the processor and based on the second data, the variance to at least one player position; and
directing, by the processor, a display associated with the electronic system to output an indication of the variance and the at least one player position correlated to the variance.
