Abstract: A gaming system for playing a game and processing currency includes a plurality of player interaction terminals adaptable for determining a winning outcome of the game and receiving and processing the currency and discharging the currency in response to the winning outcome of the game. Each player interaction terminal generates various sounds as the game is played and as the winning outcome is determined. A controller operably communicates with each of the player interaction terminals. A tracking device communicates with each of the player interaction terminals and the controller and is held by a casino attendant who moves the tracking device relative each of the player interaction terminals for selectively adjusting the sounds of each of the player interaction terminals and to synch and/or mute or dial down the volume so that a general message, such as, for example an emergency message, may be broadcast.

Abstract: A system, computer program product and method for playing casino games in a remote location. Input from a user of a terminal selecting a casino game to be played on the terminal may be received. The selected casino game may then be displayed on the terminal. Input from the user of the terminal selecting a play in the displayed casino game may be further received. A table may be searched to determine an action the user of the terminal selected to be performed in the casino game using the input from the user. The action to be performed in the casino game may then be transmitted to a processor of a gaming device. A next screen to be displayed to the user after the user's selected action is performed may be received from the gaming device. This next screen may be transmitted to the terminal to be displayed to the user.
