  • Publication number: 20060205470
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention may be described as an automated gaming system comprising an outcome generating means, a platform surrounding it, and a plurality of player stations. Player stations are communicatively linked to the outcome generating means to provide players with participations in a wagering game. The automated gaming system is adapted to provide player stations to at least five players to concurrently participate in the game, these players being located at similar distance from the outcome generating means and being offered an unobstructed view of the outcome generating means since the player stations are located on one side of a player when the player faces the outcome generating means.
