Abstract: A secure and authentic online player and live dealer video streamed virtual poker system and process is disclosed. The virtual poker platform is implemented as a software-based system with a cloud-based software application service and website that constructs a virtual platform that links professional poker dealers with real players to increase accessibility and to promote unmatched integrity within the online poker community. This allows players the best live feel while being able to play poker remotely and provides all users peace of mind of knowing that their cards are authentic and randomized. Furthermore, the virtual poker platform has a game flow that is a very similar representation to live poker, which provides a similar user experience to real life play, while ensuring that players are playing against other real people and eliminating concerns about programmed computer players and superusers.
