  • Systems and methods for outputting a representation of betting event information for a card game
    Patent number: 9858767
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, systems, methods and articles of manufacture (e.g., non-transitory computer readable medium) provide for outputting a status (or progress in) betting for a hand (or round of a hand) of an electronic card game. For example, a betting progress indicator may comprise a visual indicator of betting for the hand and may progress from player to player during a hand (or round of a hand) as players Call or Fold but may be reset once a player Raises, thus efficiently indicating to all players that the player who Raised has re-opened betting for the hand (or round of a hand) and that any player after that player who has not previously Folded will need to make another betting decision in the current hand (or round of a hand).
