  • Computer network implemented gaming system and method of using same
    Patent number: 6749512
    Abstract: A real time video frame sequence is spread in time, frame by frame, to match the transmission rate and bandwidth of a computer communication network and once transmitted is reconstructed at the receiving site to its real time frame rate. The video frame sequence may be loaded, frame by frame, into a first-in-first-out memory stack to be substituted for the conventional video frame network transmission whenever a high excitement event is indicated by the audio level associated with the video frame sequence, the first-in-first-out memory stacking allowing for the usual group reaction delay. The method is particularly useful in transmitting video images from selected gaming sites of a casino.
