  • Publication number: 20170337769
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling access to online casino games are described herein. In one aspect, an authoritative image of a remote player is received and stored in a biometrical facial recognition database. The authoritative image can be linked with a player profile of a player tracking card holder. To play an online casino game, the remote player can provide an authentication image. The player's presence in the authentication image can be determined using a biometrical facial recognition software application. Upon successful authentication, a selection of online casino games can be displayed to the remote player. The real-time (e.g., during game play) identity of the remote player can be determined. If an authorized remote player has been replaced by an unauthorized remote player, the game play can be terminated. In another aspect, the remote player provides the authoritative image after receiving an invitation.

  • Publication number: 20130196777
    Abstract: Online gaming integrating sensory data and/or gameplay data from a real-world environment is provided within an environment incorporating playback of a recorded instance of an original, live card game played in a real-world environment delayed or in real-time. Data from a live card game in a real-world environment can be recorded for delayed playback or streamed live and a remote player can participate on-line in the game as if the remote player had been present at the original, live card game. The remote player may play in the online game at the position/seat occupied by areal-world player. In games where a player is dealt his or her own hand of cards, the remote player will receive cards as they were dealt to the original, real-world player that occupied the same position/seat and may make strategic decisions during gameplay that differ from those of the original, real-world player.
