Abstract (en)
The present invention disclosed herein provides a system and method for tracking the distribution of cards during the play of a game. The distribution of cards to players are tracked in part by using a reader, e.g. a camera, barcode reader, RFID reader, etc preferably located, or affixed, under the playing surface of a table to determine the cards dealt to players by a dealer during the course of game play. It is a further aspect of certain embodiments of the present invention to virtually replicate at least a portion of the game play, based on the tracked distribution of cards, for presentation to spectators of the game. The system and method can be used for real-time presentation of a card game, such as a poker game, to spectators.
