Abstract
Various embodiments include determining a value of a statistic describing cards that have been dealt from a deck, and modifying the rules of a game based on the statistic.
Claims38
An apparatus comprising:
- a non-transitory medium having stored thereon, a set of instruction, in which, when executed by a computing device, the set of instructions cause the apparatus to:
- determine that a card count is at least one of greater than a first threshold and less than a second threshold;
- and
- in response to determining that the card count is at least one of greater than the first threshold and less than the second threshold, facilitate a shuffling of a deck of cards prior to using the deck for a game.

An apparatus comprising:
- a non-transitory medium having stored thereon, a set of instruction, in which, when executed by a computing device, the set of instructions cause the apparatus to:
- determine a first card count describing a first game;
- determine a second card count describing a second game;
- and
- display the first card count and the second card count together on a display device to non-participants in the first game and second game.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a non-transitory medium having stored thereon, a set of instruction, in which, when executed by a computing device, the set of instructions cause the apparatus to:
- determine a statistic based on a first count related to a first game played using a first deck and a second count related to a second game played using a second deck;
- and
- display the statistic on a display device to non-participants in the first game and second game.

A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, that a card count is at least one of greater than a first threshold and less than a second threshold;
- and
- in response to determining that the card count is at least one of greater than the first threshold and less than the second threshold, facilitating, by the computing device, a shuffling of a deck of cards prior to using the deck for a game.
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, a first card count describing a first game;
- determining, by the computing device, a second card count describing a second game;
- and
- facilitating, by the computing device, display of the first card count and the second card count together on a display device to non-participants in the first game and second game.

- and
- facilitating, by a computing device, display of the statistic on a display device to non-participants in the first game and second game.
