  • Patent number: 10755517
    Abstract: Aspects disclosed herein may provide a gaming user interface that allows users to view and interact with multiple gaming instances from a single screen.

The user may be able to select a control on the user interface to expand a particular panel corresponding to a particular gaming instance. Responsive to selection of the control, the user interface may expand the particular panel to replace other panels of the multi-table view. The expanded panel may offer additional functionality and information that is not available in the compact panel.
