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. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying the images of the playing cards only on the front side of the display while the support frame entirely encloses the back side of the display. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising providing a flexible display comprising a flexible LCD screen and providing a flexible frame, both configured to be elastically deformed. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising randomly selecting the images of the playing cards displayed on the at least one reconfigurable playing card device with the processing device from the data storage device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising randomly selecting the images of the playing cards displayed on the at least one reconfigurable playing card device with a remote processing device from a remote data storage device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising detecting the images of the playing cards. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, further comprising determining an outcome of at least one card game based on the detection of the images of the playing cards with the processing device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, further comprising determining an outcome of at least one card game based on the detection of the images of the playing cards with a remote processing device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising enabling the at least one player to input selections to the at least one reconfigurable playing card device with a touch screen. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: displaying an image of at least one playing card of the playing cards in an initially obscured manner; and removing the obscured manner of the image of the at least one playing card of the playing cards and displaying the image of the at least one playing card of the playing cards unobstructed when a trigger condition based on play of a wagering game is detected. ### Claim 11 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. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising enabling the at least one player to input selections into the at least one reconfigurable playing card device with the display comprising a touch screen. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising: detecting the images of the playing cards with the at least one reconfigurable playing card device; and determining an outcome of at least one card game based on the detection of the images of the playing cards. ### Claim 14 A system for providing a reconfigurable playing card device at a gaming table in a casino, comprising: at least one playing card device comprising a support frame enclosing an entirety of a periphery of a front side of a display; a data storage device configured for storing images of playing cards; and a processing device operably coupled to the data storage device and configured for randomly displaying the images of the playing cards on the front side of the display of the at least one playing card device, wherein the data storage device and the processing device are located in the support frame at least partially laterally outside of the periphery of the display between the periphery of the front side of the display and an outer edge of the support frame. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein the support frame encloses the processing device and the data storage device within the support frame at a location laterally between the periphery of the front side of the display and the outer edge of the support frame. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein the support frame encloses an entirety of a back side of the display, the back side opposing the front side of the display. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein the support frame encloses a back side of the display, the processing device, and the data storage device within the support frame. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein the processing device is further configured for determining an outcome of at least one card game based on the displayed images of the playing cards. ### Claim 19 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein both the display and the support frame are configured to be elastically deformed.
