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.
