Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for providing playing cards. An exemplary method may include retrieving data related to a selection of a set of numbers for bingo and determining matching bingo patterns on a predetermined number of cards from a library of bingo cards against the set of selected numbers. The method may further include selecting corresponding playing cards based on the matching bingo patterns on the predetermined number of cards and providing the corresponding playing cards for display. The exemplary method may be used to deal playing cards for poker using a set of selected numbers.

A computer-implemented method for providing a desired number of playing cards, the method comprising:
- determining, using at least one processor, bingo patterns on each bingo card among a library of bingo cards based on a set of numbers for bingo;
- selecting, using the at least one processor, corresponding playing cards based on a predetermined association between playing cards and the bingo patterns on each bingo card among the library of bingo cards;
- upon initiation of a game by a physical user interface of a gaming terminal or an electronic user interface of the gaming terminal, providing, using the at least one processor, the corresponding playing cards for display on a video display screen of the gaming terminal;
- replacing, using the at least one processor, one or more of the number of bingo cards with additional bingo cards from the library of bingo cards;
- determining, using the at least one processor, additional bingo patterns on the additional bingo cards from the library of bingo cards;
- selecting, using the at least one processor, corresponding replacement playing cards based on the additional bingo patterns on the additional bingo cards;
- and
- providing, using the at least one processor, the corresponding replacement cards for display.
A computer-implemented method for providing a desired number of playing cards, the method comprising:
- determining, using at least one processor, patterns on each matrix among a library of matrices based on a set of indicia;
- selecting, using the at least one processor, corresponding playing cards based on a predetermined association between the playing cards and the patterns on each matrix among the library of matrices;
- upon initiation of a game by a physical user interface of a gaming terminal or an electronic user interface of the gaming terminal, providing, using the at least one processor, the corresponding playing cards for display on a video display screen of the gaming terminal;
- replacing, using the at least one processor, one or more of the number of matrices with additional matrices from the library of matrices;
- determining, using the at least one processor, additional patterns on the additional matrices from the library of matrices;
- selecting, using the at least one processor, corresponding replacement playing cards based on the additional patterns on the additional matrices;
- and
- providing, using the at least one processor, the corresponding replacement cards for display.
A computer-implemented method for providing a desired number of playing cards, the method comprising:
- determining, using at least one processor, patterns on each matrix among a library of matrices based on a set of numbers;
- selecting, using the at least one processor, corresponding playing cards based on a determined association between playing cards and the patterns on each matrix among the library of matrices;
- providing, using the at least one processor, the corresponding playing cards for display on a video display screen of a gaming terminal, wherein the game is initiated by a physical user interface of the gaming terminal or an electronic user interface of the gaming terminal;
- replacing, using the at least one processor, one or more of the number of matrices with additional matrices from the library of matrices;
- determining, using the at least one processor, additional patterns on the additional matrices from the library of matrices;
- selecting, using the at least one processor, corresponding replacement playing cards based on the additional patterns on the additional matrices;
- and
- providing, using the at least one processor, the corresponding replacement cards for display.
A gaming terminal for providing a desired number of playing cards, the gaming terminal comprising:
- a video display screen displaying an interface;
- a memory having processor-readable instructions stored therein;
- and
- a processor configured to access the memory and execute the processor-readable instructions, which when executed by the processor configures the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- determining patterns on each matrix among a library of matrices based on a set of numbers;
- selecting corresponding playing cards based on a determined association between playing cards and the patterns on each matrix among the library of matrices;
- providing the corresponding playing cards for display on the video display screen;
- replacing one or more of the number of matrices with additional matrices from the library of matrices;
- determining additional patterns on the additional matrices from the library of matrices;
- selecting corresponding replacement playing cards based on the additional patterns on the additional matrices;
- and
- providing the corresponding replacement cards for display.
