Abstract: There is described a gaming table having a playing surface in which a display panel is positioned below the playing surface of the gaming table, and is operable to display moving and/or still images which can be viewed through the playing surface by players at the table. A diffuser screen 8 may be placed between the playing surface and the display panel. If the upper surface of the display panel is uneven, a cover sheet 16 may be placed over the display panel to provide a smooth substrate for the diffuser screen and/or the playing surface. Embodiments are described in which a projector projects an image onto the undersurface of a screen mounted below the playing surface so that the image is visible through the playing surface.

Abstract: There is described a gaming table (3) having a playing surface (9) in which a display panel (6) is positioned below the playing surface of the gaming table, and is operable to display moving and/or still images which can be viewed through the playing surface by players at the table. A diffuser screen 8 may be placed between the playing surface (9) and the display panel (6). If the upper surface of the display panel (6) is uneven, a cover sheet 16 may be placed over the display panel (6) to provide a smooth substrate for the diffuser screen (8) and/or the playing surface (9). Embodiments are described in which a projector projects an image onto the undersurface of a screen mounted below the playing surface so that the image is visible through the playing surface.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for playing an auxiliary progressive jackpot game associated with a base, live casino table game. The invention extends to an apparatus for administering the auxiliary game and notifying players of game occurrences including jackpot winners.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring consecutive games of roulette played at a live roulette gaming table. The table includes a table layout, a roulette wheel and a chipper machine for sorting and counting betting chips. During each game, players bet on a spin of the roulette wheel by indicating bets on the table layout with the chips. Chip count data from the chipper machine along with game activity data from one or more gaming table monitoring systems is recorded and processed by a table computer to identify at least one game delineation event and associated timing information. The chip count data is analyzed based on the timing information for game delineation event: and then portions of the chip count data are assigned to respective roulette games. The recorded data may be later analyzed to determine a range of performance characteristics including optimization characteristics, and/or immediately communicated to the table operators.
