A bet sensor for sensing values of gaming tokens may include a bet placement surface configured and oriented to support a stack of gaming tokens thereon and an image sensor located and oriented to capture an image of a lateral side surface of at least one gaming token located on the bet placement surface. The image may depict the lateral side surface in a radial format. The bet sensor may include a processor operably coupled with the image sensor. The processor is configured to acquire image data from the image sensor and determine a wager value of the at least one gaming token by projecting at least one circle onto the image data that corresponds with a transition in the image data associated with the at least one gaming token. A gaming table may include such a bet sensor. The disclosure includes methods of operating such a bet sensor.
