Claims19
A method of providing at least one reconfigurable playing card device, the method comprising:
- providing the at least one reconfigurable playing card device to at least one player at a live wagering game at a gaming table with a dealer, the at least one reconfigurable playing card device comprising a support frame enclosing an entirety of peripheral edges and at least a portion of a back side of a display, the support frame including a processing device, a data storage device, and a communication device positioned at least partially within the support frame at a location laterally at least partially beyond the peripheral edges of the display between the peripheral edges of the display and an outside edge of the support frame;
- and
- displaying images of playing cards on a front side of the display of the at least one reconfigurable playing card device at the gaming table, the front side opposing the back side of the display.
A method of providing at least one reconfigurable playing card device, the method comprising:
- providing the at least one reconfigurable playing card device to at least one player at a wagering game at a gaming table in a casino, the at least one reconfigurable playing card device comprising a support frame enclosing an entirety of a periphery of a front side of a display and an entirety of a back side of the display, the front side opposing the back side of the display, the support frame including an electronics assembly positioned between the display and the support frame;
- and
- displaying images of playing cards on the front side of the display of the at least one reconfigurable playing card device,
- wherein providing the at least one reconfigurable playing card device comprises supplying the at least one reconfigurable playing card device including the support frame having the electronics assembly including at least one of a processing device, a data storage device, or a communication device positioned at least partially within the support frame at a location laterally, along a major plane of the display, between peripheral edges of the display and an outside edge of the support frame.
