INDIVIDUALIZED INTERACTIVE TABLE GAMING MACHINE
First Claim
1. An individualized interactive table gaming machine, comprising:
- one or more input components adapted to accept a physical activation from a single user regarding the play by the single user of wager based games that involve the placement of wagers by the single user, the play of games by the single user based upon the wagers, and the grant of monetary awards to the single user based upon game results;
a processor coupled to the one or more input components, said processor being adapted to accept input therefrom and utilize the input to facilitate the play of the wager based games;
one or more display components coupled to the processor, said one or more display components being adapted to display to the single user information regarding the wager based games played by the single user; and
a physical randomizing component coupled to the processor, said physical randomizing component including one or more physical game objects from table type games that provide substantially random outcomes when actuated by the processor, wherein the substantially random outcomes of the one or more physical game objects form at least a part of the game results, wherein actuation by the processor results from the physical activation from the single user, and wherein variations in the physical activation from the single user affect variations to the substantially random outcomes of the one or more physical game objects.

Abstract
An individualized interactive table gaming machine includes input component(s) that accept a physical activation from a user for wager based game play, a processor coupled to the input component(s) and adapted to facilitate game play, display component(s) coupled to the processor and adapted to display game play information, and a physical randomizing component dedicated to that individual machine that can have one or more physical objects from table type games that provide substantially random outcomes when actuated by the processor. The substantially random outcomes provide game results, and actuation by the processor results from the physical activation from the user, wherein variations in the physical activation can affect variations to the substantially random outcomes of the one or more physical objects. Machines can be linked to other machines and/or a system server to facilitate cross-wagering, searching, tournament play, and other activities.
