Abstract:
1. A method of playing a card game comprising: computationally generating a pseudo-random playing card sequence from a plurality of playing card values at a first location, the plurality of playing card values being associated with a plurality of playing cards, a playing card value being associated with each playing card, wherein the first location includes a host computing system, said host computing system including at least one processor programmed to generate the pseudo-random sequence of playing card values; sending the pseudo-random sequence of playing card values generated at the first location to a second location, wherein the second location includes at least one processor adapted to receive communications from the host computing system, the host computing system communicating with the at least one processor at the second location to transmit the pseudo-random sequence of playing card values to the second location, wherein the pseudo-random sequence is generated independent of the at least one processor at the second location; generating, at the second location, in an order of the generated pseudo-random playing card sequence, a number of playing cards corresponding to respective ones of the playing card values for at least a portion of the generated pseudo-random playing card sequence; and distributing the generated playing cards to a plurality of players for playing a card game.
