Abstract: Methods and systems of providing real time on-line casino games are disclosed. A remote player connects to an on-line server that hosts a game center. A flexible security program allows a web site to select one or more user information fields as required verification fields for entering the web site. A card scanner at a game table scans a card and reads a code embedded in the card that indicates the type of the card. Cameras at the game table capture the video images of the game table. The video images and the type of the card are transmitted by the server to the remote player. Playing instructions from the remote player are transmitted to the game table and displayed by a remote instruction system at the game table. Slot machine statistics such as amount and frequency of recent winnings are provided to help players select a favorite slot machine to play.
