Electronic Poker System

摘要

An electronic poker system is a system for reducing slowdowns and errors during play while delivering an authentic poker experience for players. The system includes a table where players are able to sit at a plurality of player stations while a live dealer sits at a dealer station. Each player's cards are shown on at least one flexible display while community cards and other game information is shown on at least one game display that is visible to all players. Each of the at least one flexible display is secured to a playing surface of the table through a tether device. A gameplay control unit automates many functions such as dealing player cards, dealing community cards, fixing dealer mistakes, and folding player hands. The live dealer is able to initiate these functions through at least one dealer input device.
