Individual poker player time allowance clock

Abstract

A device and or systems used to track and maintain a record of time used by individual poker players. This clock management system gives individual poker players a personal time clock for a finite amount of time to play out multiple hands of poker within a set time period. In essence this invention is using the premise of another skill based game called chess. In 1883, the chess clock was invented to move the game along, from days to minutes. The chess clock gives an individual player their own equal time clock to play out a game of chess within those time limits. A simple mechanism when only two players playing against each other, but much more complicated when there are hundreds, or even thousands of players playing against each other in multi-table tournaments. This is a device that uses micro-computing power to maintain a play time clock for every individual player within the tournament, that is what this invention is.
