摘要： A queuing system and method are provided for filling vacancies at seats at manual and electronic gaming tables in a card room by establishing electronic waiting lists. The queuing system comprises at least one player interface, a queue interface, and a server computer networked to the player interface and the queue interface. In use, new players are placed on one or more of the electronic waiting lists, while the seats are monitored for vacancies via the player interfaces. Upon detecting a vacant seat, the server computer automatically assigns the next new player on the corresponding waiting list to the vacant seat of the selected manual or electronic gaming table.

摘要： An electronic gaming system has a plurality of tables each having a plurality of electronic player interaction areas (EPIA's) spaced preferably about a table periphery so that a gaming player locates oneself in front of a respective EPIA to play a game. A controller of the system assigns any one of preferably a variety of games to any one table. The player is then free to choose what game he/she desires to play by picking a particular table. When playing of a game is being conducted by the controller at a particular table, the table is considered to be active. When a table is without players and thus a game is not being played, the table is considered to be inactive. The gaming system has a host console that communicates with each EPIA via the controller for managerial control of the plurality of tables. A host interface of the host console enables input by a host to move a game and the respective players from an active table to an inactive table.
