A token sensor for a gaming table and a related system and method are provided. In a typical configuration, multiple token sensors are positioned at respective locations of a game layout installed above a cushioning layer of the gaming table that covers a top of the gaming table. Top surfaces of the token sensors lie flush with or slightly above the top surface of the game layout. Each token sensor includes a plurality of paired light radiation emitters and light radiation detectors. When none of the detectors receive light from their paired emitter, the presence of a token is indicated. Such planar detection of the presence of a token allows the upper surface of the sensor to be used for other purposes when presence of a token is not expected. Each token sensor may thus include a touchscreen display for the issuance and acceptance of game information and commands.
