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 computer-based 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. The gaming system has a host console that communicates with each EPIA via the controller for managerial control of the plurality of tables. A software-based administrator tool operates preferably through a user interface for the control of at least one gaming profile type by the deletion, editing and creation of various gaming rules.

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.

摘要： A method is provided for monitoring a status of a first new player placed on one or more electronic waiting lists for filling vacancies at a plurality of gaming tables. The first new player is allowed to select one or more electronic waiting lists and is placed on the selected electronic waiting lists. The status of the first new player is displayed on a display device for the selected electronic waiting lists or an alert is provided to the first new player. The electronic waiting lists are further managed to prevent a first new player playing in a first gaming tournament from selecting and being placed on the electronic waiting list for a second gaming tournament while the first gaming tournament is still active.
