Abstract:
A bar top gaming system comprising a plurality of player stations (8a, 8b, 8c) interconnected to a table server (44) which is connected to a modem (46) provides players with a no cash way of playing a gaming system. The bar top gaming system allows a player to use a financial institution credit card for gaming purposes, thereby eliminating the need for the player to carry cash. The table server controls the individual player stations, and utilizes the modem for communicating with the financial institution for credit card limit verifications, as well as for collecting gaming system usage and information and relaying that information to a central processing station in a remote location. The player station comprises a flat screen color LCD video display (16) which results in a thin profile player station housing unit (10), thereby enabling the installation of the bar top gaming system through the removal and replacement of an existing bar top with the thin profile player stations installed into a replacement bar top (50), rather than through the removal and replacement of the entire bar (60) comprising the bar top and bar base (54).
