Abstract

A system and method for teaching a game of chance, the system comprising a network, a game teaching processor, a teacher interface, and a student interface. The game teaching processor is structured to facilitate interactive educational instruction relating to a game of chance. Additionally, the student interface and the teacher interface are structured to display interactive multimedia content, and also structured to permit real-time communication between teachers and students.

Claims

1. A method of teaching a game of chance, comprising:

providing interactive educational instruction relating to a game of chance;

directing the interactive educational instruction via at least one teacher interface to at least one student interface situated remotely from the at least one teacher interface; and

communicating with the at least one student interface in real-time via the at least one teacher interface.

2. A method as recited in claim 1 further comprising permitting adjustment, via the at least one teacher interface, of at least one factor affecting the outcome of the game of chance.

3. A method as recited in claim 1 further comprising establishing public real-time communication between the at least one student interface and the at least one teacher interface.

4. A method as recited in claim 1 further comprising establishing private real-time communication between the at least one student interface and the at least one teacher interface.

5. A method as recited in claim 1 further comprising recording a teaching session.

6. A method as recited in claim 1 further comprising displaying interactive multimedia content on both the teacher interface and the student interface.

7. A method as recited in claim 6 defining the interactive multimedia content as comprising a slide show presentation.

8. A method as recited in claim 6 defining the interactive multimedia content as comprising an online game room.

9. A method as recited in claim 6 defining the interactive multimedia content as comprising a drawing board.

10. A method as recited in claim 6 defining the interactive multimedia content as comprising a video clip.

11. A method of teaching a card game, comprising:

providing interactive educational instruction relating to a card game;

directing the interactive educational instruction via at least one teacher interface to at least one student interface situated remotely from the at least one teacher interface;

communicating with the at least one student interface in real-time via the at least one teacher interface; and

permitting adjustment, via the at least one teacher interface, of at least one factor affecting the outcome of the card game.

12. A method as recited in claim 11 defining the card game as Texas Hold'"'"'em poker.

13. A method as recited in claim 11 wherein permitting adjustment of the at least one factor affecting the outcome of the card game further comprises dealing one or more cards via the at least one teacher interface.

14. A method as recited in claim 13 wherein the dealing one or more cards comprises dealing one or more predetermined cards via the at least one teacher interface.

15. A method as recited in claim 13 wherein the dealing one or more cards comprises dealing one or more random cards via the at least one teacher interface.

16. A method as recited in claim 13 further comprising tracking the one or more cards.

17. A method as recited in claim 11 further comprising tracking the one or more cards.

18. A method as recited in claim 11 further comprising tracking one or more bets.

19. A method as recited in claim 11 further comprising displaying interactive multimedia content on both the teacher interface and the student interface.

20. A method as recited in claim 11 further comprising recording a teaching session.

21. A system for teaching a game of chance, comprising:

a game teaching processor in communication with a network;

at least one student interface in communication with the network;

at least one teacher interface in communication with the network;

said game teaching processor structured to facilitate interactive educational instruction relating to a game of chance;

said at least one student interface structured to display interactive multimedia content, and further structured to communicate with the at least one teacher interface in real-time; and

said at least one teacher interface structured to display interactive multimedia content, and further structured to communicate with the at least one student interface in real-time.

22. A system as recited in claim 21 wherein said at least one teacher interface, said at least one student interface, said game teaching processor, and said network are structured to operate over the Internet.

23. A system as recited in claim 21 wherein said real-time communication comprises private communication.

24. A system as recited in claim 21 wherein said real-time communication comprises public communication.

25. A system as recited in claim 21 wherein said game teaching processor is further structured to record a teaching session.

26. A system as recited in claim 21 wherein said interactive multimedia content comprises a slide show presentation.

27. A system as recited in claim 21 wherein said interactive multimedia content comprises an online game room.

28. A system as recited in claim 21 wherein said interactive multimedia content comprises a drawing board.

29. A system as recited in claim 21 wherein said interactive multimedia content comprises a video clip.

30. A system as recited in claim 21 wherein the teacher interface is further structured to permit adjustment of at least one factor affecting the outcome of said game of chance.

31. A system as recited in claim 21 wherein said game of chance comprises a card game.

32. A system as recited in claim 31 wherein said card game is Texas Hold'"'"'em Poker.

33. A system as recited in claim 31 wherein said at least one teacher interface is further structured to deal one or more predetermined cards.

35. A system as recited in claim 31 further structured to track the one or more cards.

36. A system as recited in claim 31 further structured to track one or more bets.

37. A system for teaching a card game, comprising:

at least one teacher interface in communication with a network;

at least one student interface in communication with the network;

said at least one teacher interface structured to facilitate interactive multimedia teaching relating to a card game, and further structured to communicate with the at least one student interface in real-time;

said at least one student interface structured to facilitate interactive multimedia learning relating to a card game, and further structured to communicate with the at least one teacher interface in real-time;

said at least one teacher interface further comprising at least one processor structured to run at least one computer program for facilitating interactive multimedia teaching relating to the card game; and

said at least one student interface further comprising at least one processor structured to run at least one computer program for facilitating interactive multimedia learning relating to the card game.

38. A system as recited in claim 37 wherein said real-time communication comprises private communication.
