Online gaming with real-world data

A computer-implemented method for providing online gaming with real-world data, comprising:

• using one or more capture devices to capture gameplay data from a live game, wherein a capture device comprises a video camera, a microphone, a sensor, a RFID device, a card-dispensing shoe with a scanner, and/or an intelligent game table, and wherein the live game comprises one or more physical game elements;
• using the one or more capture devices to capture sensory data from the live game;
• using a processor to store a first database containing captured gameplay data that is available for delayed playback, wherein the first database is stored in a first non-transitory computer-readable medium;
• using the processor to store a second database containing captured sensory data that is available for delayed playback, wherein the second database is stored in a second non-transitory computer-readable medium;
• using the processor and a memory to process the captured gameplay data;
• using the processor and the memory to process the captured sensory data;
• transmitting information over a network connection to present a user interface on a remote player's client computer, wherein the user interface includes the captured gameplay data and the captured sensory data;
• and
• resolving divergence situations that occur when the remote player takes a gameplay action inconsistent with the captured gameplay data.
