Abstract

An electronic system and method for playing an electronic card game. The sysetm is constructed and arranged to permit a number of card game players to sit around a card game table for creating a social environment associated with playing cards. The system includes a plurality of game stations coupled to a central base module. Each game station includes a player interface device and a display. The base module is adapted for receiving signals from each of the game stations and for processing the signals. The processed signals are representative of player transactions that relate to card game conditions and rules stored on the base module.
