DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND RELATED METHODS FOR REAL-TIME MONITORING AND DISPLAY OF RELATED DATA FOR CASINO GAMING DEVICES
First Claim
1. In an environment including a plurality of casino table games which have associated electronic card handling devices, each adapted to generate card handling performance data and a communication network, a monitoring system comprising:
- a monitoring server in communication with the communication network and programmed to receive the card handling performance data from the electronic card handling devices in real-time during operation thereof, the card handling performance data selected from the group consisting of one or more of shuffling data, game hand data, card dealing/distribution data, game round data, and game outcome data; and
an operator station in communication with the monitoring server and including a user input device and a video display;
wherein at least one of the monitoring server or the operator station is configured to;
associate each electronic card handling device'"'"'s received performance data with the corresponding electronic card handling device generating the performance data; and
control the operator station video display to display a graphical user interface including simultaneously displaying graphical representations of the selected performance data updated in real-time for the electronic card handling devices for at least two casino table games.
