ABSTRACT:
Remote-player virtual gaming is provided, off-site or on-site casino premises, using randomly selected entertaining multimedia gaming episodes, with randomly generated gaming outcomes. The randomly selected gaming episodes could be from a database or from randomly selected ongoing games. The database could be preprocessed casino surveillance audio-video or recordings depicting a hired cast of entertainers playing a broad variety of games of chance and skill. Relevant functionality includes authorized server based secure outcome distribution, gaming stations enabling intra-episode biometric (e.g., face) authentication and accounting systems for rewarding authorized remote-players with products, services, playtime or cash.
