Purpose (from the supplied text): The application "relates to the field of gaming," specifically "a system and method of providing gaming services to game players located remotely from one another." It describes a central gaming server hosting a virtual gaming environment with account creation, player registration, and other elements for participation. It notes players play against the house/dealer (e.g., blackjack) or each other (e.g., poker); they register, fund an account, and play for money. Gaming servers use electronic random number generators (RNG) to generate values such as card representations, slot icons, or dice values, and the server controls play—wagering, scorekeeping, accounting, and win determination. The text identifies a problem that Internet gaming isolates players, reducing the excitement of live gaming.
Plain-language scope (as far as the excerpt shows): The excerpted method is performed by a gaming server and includes receiving electronic indications of an initial sub-set of physical playing cards dealt from a deck; receiving an indication from a remote player of a number of poker hands to play; generating electronic replacement card values for one or more hands; and conducting a draw poker game for each hand. The excerpt is truncated mid-sentence, so the full claim set is not established here.
