Claim 13:
14. A system comprising:
image-sensing devices; and
an electronic game controller configured to control a network card game, wherein the plurality of image-sensing devices are communicatively coupled to the electronic game controller via a network, said system configured to store instructions,
which, when executed by the electronic game controller, cause the system to perform operations to:
select a winning card value for the network card game;
obtain, via at least some of the plurality of image-sensing devices, first images of cards being dealt from decks of playing cards for a plurality of card games played at a plurality of gaming tables;
detect, via analysis of the first images using a neural-network model, a card value of each card that is dealt at each of the plurality of gaming tables;
determine, via comparison of each card value to the winning card value, that the playing card having the winning card value is dealt from one of the decks at one of the plurality of gaming tables;
determine, based on analysis of timing data from transceiver signals associated with a card-handling device that dealt the playing card, a physical location of a closest one of the plurality of gaining tables that is closest in distance relative to the card-handling device;
capture, via at least a portion of the image-sensing devices in a gaming environment at the physical location of the closest one of the plurality of gaming tables, second images of any participants at the closest one of the plurality of gaming tables;
determine, via analysis of the second images using the neural-network model, a participant to whom the playing card was dealt; and
electronically validate, with an electronic account associated with the participant, a win for the network card game in response to determination that the playing card was dealt.
