Distance Gaming™ provides casinos with a unique opportunity to extend their existing business into the world of online gaming, offering their patrons a new and exclusive online gaming experience. Whilst most online casinos present artificial games that simulate casino play, Distance Gaming™ allows patrons to participate directly in games being played in a real casino, using only their home PC and internet connection. Live games are played with an easy-to-use graphical interface, and provide actual video footage of a game as it is in progress in the casino.

Distance Gaming™ allows a casino patron to participate in games being played "live" by integrating existing casino tables into the Distance Gaming™ system. A suite of sensors, cameras, displays, and a game controller are added to a gaming table to allow the progress of a game to be monitored by the casino's central Distance Gaming™ server. The server communicates with each individual game controller in the casino to monitor and control the state of each game in progress. This information is combined with the actions of each internet patron, to provide each patron with a seamless experience of participating in the game of their choice.

Games are presented to patrons through the familiar environment of their preferred web browser. All the Distance Gaming™ software required by a patron is written in the Java™ programming language, providing maximum compatibility across differing end-user systems, and is automatically downloaded the first time a patron begins play. Once downloaded, the software is stored on the patron's PC for future use. No manual installation or technical expertise is required to begin gaming.

The Distance Gaming™ system also provides a web interface that makes the management of a casino's online gaming presence simple and secure. Patrons have easy access to their gaming accounts, and can deposit funds both online, or at the casino cash desk. The operation of the system, including verification of accounts, the presentation of available games and game guides, and the tracking and management of financial details are all presented to authorised casino management staff. Obviously, security is of paramount importance for any online gaming system that sends sensitive information across the internet. All communications between a casino's Distance Gaming™ server and a patron's PC are protected using industry standard SSL encryption, rendering tampering and interception impossible. Additionally, the information exchanged between the Distance Gaming™ server and a patron's PC is structured so that malicious tampering with the software running on a patron's PC cannot provide financial advantage, or affect game outcomes.

In addition to the benefits of presenting live in-casino games to patrons, the Distance Gaming™ system provides a casino with a new, automatic method to collect a variety of statistics from gaming tables. Game outcomes, on game outcomes, dealer/croupier performance.
