Patent number: 11967199Abstract: A system and method for hosting and managing a live game are disclosed which includes a live gaming table for live players and a live dealer. In an embodiment an application configures a player's mobile device to receive an invitation from a casino to play the table game based upon the player being, based upon location aware technology, being in or near the casino. Accepting the invention permits the player to reserve a position at the gaming table and displays a machine readable code at the player's mobile device. The player positions at the gaming table include video display and player input devices (VDPIDs) and a code reader to read the displayed code and access the player's electronic account. Using the VDPID the player may convert between electronic funds and physical gaming chips, participate in video bonus event play and back-bet on other players.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: LNW Gaming, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Masao Yee, Jeremy Halter, Mark Lowell, Scott Hilbert, Dat Ta, Sridhar Gondesi, William Jones, Joseph R.
