Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to gaming systems and, more specifically, to gaming systems for use in casinos. Even more specifically, this disclosure relates to systems that enable one or more players, who wager on the outcome of a game, to actively participate in the game and one or more other individuals, who do not actively participate in the game, to wager on the outcome of the game. A gaming station and a wagering station may be incorporated into the same gaming console, with the wagering station positioned behind a portion of the gaming station that is to be occupied by an active participant in a game. Each gaming console may include a public display monitor that may provide passive participants in the game and passersby with a wide view of the game. Gaming consoles may be grouped together such that their public display monitors may collectively provide different portions of such a wide view of the game.
