Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
	Organization and Nature of Business
	Gaming Partners International Corporation (GPIC or the Company) is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and has three operating subsidiaries: Gaming Partners International USA, Inc. (GPI USA) (including GPI Mexicana, our maquiladora manufacturing operation in Mexico), Gaming Partners International SAS (GPI SAS), and Gaming Partners International Asia Limited (GPI Asia).  On July 1, 2014, we acquired substantially all of the net gaming assets of GemGroup Inc. and its subsidiaries (GemGroup) (see Note 14 – Subsequent Events). Our subsidiaries have the following distribution and product focus:
		⋅	GPI USA sells in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and Latin America. GPI USA sells our full product line, with most of the products manufactured at our facility in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico and, since July 1, 2014, at our facility in Blue Springs, Missouri. The remainder is either manufactured in France or purchased from United States vendors. We also warehouse inventory in San Luis, Arizona and at our Las Vegas, Nevada headquarters, and have sales offices in Las Vegas; Atlantic City, New Jersey; and Gulfport, Mississippi.
		⋅	GPI SAS sells primarily in Europe and Africa out of its office in Beaune, France. GPI SAS predominantly sells casino currencies, including both American-style, known as chips, and European-style, known as plaques and jetons. Most of the products sold by GPI SAS are manufactured in France, with the remainder manufactured in Mexico.
		⋅	GPI Asia, with an office in Macau S.A.R., China, is the exclusive distributor of GPI USA and GPI SAS products in the Asia-Pacific region. GPI Asia primarily sells casino currency, manufactured in France or in Mexico, as well as radio frequency identification device (RFID) product solutions. Since July 1, 2014, GPI Asia also sells layouts manufactured in Macau.
	GPIC was formed in 2002 through a combination between Paul-Son Gaming Corporation and Bourgogne et Grasset S.A. initiated by the late Francois Carrette, whose firm, Holding Wilson, S.A., remains GPIC’s controlling stockholder. We have established brand names such as Paulson®, Bourgogne et Grasset® (BG®), Blue Chip (BC®), and Bud Jones®. On July 1, 2014, GPIC started manufacturing and selling playing cards and table layouts under the recently acquired Gemaco® brand name (see Note 14 – Subsequent Events). GPIC and each of its subsidiaries are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” “us,” “we” or “our.” GPI USA was founded in 1963 as Paul-Son Gaming Supplies, Inc. by Paul S. Endy, Jr., and initially manufactured and sold dice to casinos in Las Vegas. GPI SAS was founded in 1923 as Etablissements Bourgogne et Grasset S.A. by Etienne Bourgogne and Claudius Grasset in Beaune, France to produce and sell counterfeit-resistant currencies to casinos in Monaco.
	Our business activities include the manufacture and supply of casino currencies, table layouts, playing cards, gaming furniture, table accessories, dice, roulette wheels, and RFID readers and software, all of which are used with casino table games such as blackjack, poker, baccarat, craps, and roulette.
	Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Consolidation and Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GPIC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries GPI SAS, GPI USA, GPI Mexicana, and GPI Asia. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information and do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect only normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
	Subsequent Events. We evaluated subsequent events through August 12, 2014, the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance applies to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance, including most industry-specific guidance, as well as certain related guidance on accounting for contract costs. For public entities, this guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

	Note 2. Acquisition
	In May 2013, we purchased certain assets of The Blue Chip Company, LLC (Blue Chip), a privately-held manufacturer of compression-molded gaming chips. The acquisition is part of our overall acquisition strategy to use our cash position to acquire companies, products or technologies that enable us to grow and diversify our product offerings. We completed the acquisition of Blue Chip on May 31, 2013 for total consideration of $0.8 million. As the acquisition was not material, we did not present pro forma results of operations, actual results of operations from the acquisition date through December 31, 2013, or other disclosure required for material business combinations.

	Legal Proceedings and Contingencies
	We are engaged in disputes and claims that arose in the normal course of business. We believe the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Liabilities for material claims against us are accrued when a loss is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs associated with claims are expensed as incurred.
	On March 21, 2014, Walker Digital Table Systems (WDTS) and PJM Gaming (PJM) informed the Company that International Game Technology (IGT) was in breach of an agreement under which the Company was granted a distribution license relating to RFID technology. Concurrently, WDTS and PJM filed suit against the Company in U.S. District Court for patent infringement of four patents licensed to IGT by the agreement. On July 8, 2014, the dispute was resolved and the suit against the Company was dismissed, with prejudice. The Company, WDTS and PJM, and IGT each entered into separate license agreements with the other two parties. Under our agreement with IGT, we acquired the two patents pursuant to which we had an exclusive license from IGT to manufacture and distribute RFID casino currency, readers and systems in the United States.
	Commitments
	On March 13, 2014, we entered into a binding letter of intent to acquire substantially all of the net gaming assets of GemGroup for $22.5 million. In accordance with the letter of intent, we deposited $1.0 million with an escrow agent. The purchase price was subsequently adjusted to $19.75 million pursuant to an amended binding letter of intent dated May 20, 2014. On July 1, 2014, we completed the acquisition of GemGroup for $19.75 million, subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments. We financed the acquisition using a combination of cash and bank financing (see Note 14 – Subsequent Events).
	As of June 30, 2014, we had exclusive rights to two patents (licensed from IGT) related to RFID for use in casino currencies, as well as any gaming table tracking system and method. The patents expire in 2015 and cumulative minimum payments for these rights were $125,000. On July 8, 2014, we acquired the two patents for $25,000. These patents allow us to market, sell, manufacture and distribute RFID casino currency, readers and systems in the US.

	We manufacture and sell casino table game equipment in one operating segment - casino table game products. Although the Company derives its revenues from a number of different product lines, the Company neither allocates resources based on the operating results from the individual product lines, nor manages each individual product line as a separate business unit. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer (CEO). He manages our operations on a consolidated basis and assesses overall corporate profitability in making decisions about corporate resource allocation. Our CEO is also the chief operating manager for each of our entities in the United States, France and Macau; that is, the individual locations do not have “segment” or “product line” managers who report to our CEO.

	Note 12. Stockholders’ Equity
	On December 1, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program which authorized the repurchase of up to 5%, or 409,951 shares, of common stock. On November 30, 2012, the Board of Directors increased the number of shares available for repurchase to 498,512 shares. From the program’s inception through June 30, 2014, we repurchased an aggregate of 282,922 shares of our common stock at a cost of $2,066,728, or a weighted-average price of $7.30 per share. As of June 30, 2014, 215,590 shares remain authorized for repurchase.
	During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, no shares were repurchased. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we repurchased 20,201 shares of our common stock under this program at a cost of $162,696, or a weighted-average price of $8.05 per share.
	Repurchases are subject to market conditions, share price, and other factors, as well as periodic review by the Board of Directors. Repurchases have been and will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws in the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions, and/or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 for trading plans. To assist the implementation of the program, our Board of Directors adopted a 10b5-1 Purchase Plan on December 3, 2012 (the “Plan”). As permitted by the Plan, on August 5, 2013, the Board of Directors elected to terminate the Plan effective August 12, 2013. While the Plan has been terminated, the repurchase program remains in effect. The repurchase program does not specify an expiration date and it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. In addition to terminating the Plan, the Board of Directors imposed a minimum six month time period from the effective date of termination of the Plan before the Company could make any additional repurchases under the repurchase program.

As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, there were, respectively, up to 99,602 and 77,934 shares potentially issuable under option agreements that could potentially dilute yearly basic earnings per share in the future.
	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and for the three months ended June 30, 2013, these shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the Company’s loss.

All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information and do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect only normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods.

	Recently Issued Accounting Standards.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance applies to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance, including most industry-specific guidance, as well as certain related guidance on accounting for contract costs. For public entities, this guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.
