Abstract: A gaming table having multiple player input positions on a playing surface of the gaming table can be constructed in a manner that provides individual player sensitive touchscreen areas and both simplifies the methods of construction use and repair of the table, but also reduces its initial cost significantly. The table may, for example, have: a continuous, flat, transparent gaming table surface layer; multiple, independent touchscreen plates under the transparent gaming table surface layer; each of the multiple, independent touchscreen plates having a communication link to a game server; and at least some or all of the multiple, independent touchscreen plates being physically separated from other independent plates.

Abstract: An electronic gaming system has at least one table having a plurality of electronic player interaction areas (EPIA's) spaced preferably about the table so that a gaming player may locate oneself in front of a respective EPIA to play a game. The gaming system preferably has a host console that communicates with each EPIA preferably via a server for managerial control of the plurality of tables. Preferably, a software-based administrator tool operates through a user interface for the creation of at least one gaming profile type by the deletion, editing and creation of various gaming rule parameters. A software-based house collection tool operates similarly to the administrator tool for creating a plurality of house collection profiles that may then be assigned to various game profiles.
