1. A virtual card gaming system comprising:
- a processing unit;
a plurality of player screens connected to the processing unit; and
a touch sensing unit associated with each player screen, wherein playing cards displayed on the player screens are adapted for graphical manipulation in response to continuous touch movements detected through the touch sensing units, the manipulation comprising a three-dimensional representation so as to at least partially reveal the playing cards from a face down representation.

Abstract
A virtual card system provides a card game which is presented in a three-dimensional representation on monitor screens. The system allows human players to play the card game through the monitor screens. The monitor screen may be touch screens which allow the human players to input commands directly. The card game displayed on the touch screen is adapted for graphical manipulation in response to commands from a human player in real time, for instance to bend a card back at the corner to look on the underside.
