Abstract

Methods and systems for enabling network based live casino gaming, wherein a game user o) is enabled to participate from a remote location by a game user device in a live casino game operated by a casino operator, the system comprising a studio being configured for performing and recording live casino gaming; a data integration center being configured for integrating data pertaining to a casino game performed in the studio with game user specific data and casino operator specific data; an audio/video streaming provider data center configured for receiving live casino game audio/video data streams from the said studio, for generating casino operator specific audio/video data streams by mixing said live casino game audio/video data streams with casino operator specific content, and for providing said generated casino operator specific audio/video data streams to a game user device of a game user.

Claims (28)

1. A system for enabling network based live casino gaming, wherein a game user is enabled to participate from a remote location via a game user device in a live casino game operated by a casino operator, the system comprising:

a studio operably performing and recording live casino gaming;

a background screen operably reflecting light;

a gaming device;

one or a plurality of video recording devices communicatively coupled to an audio/video integration device, and

a light emitting device, surrounding a video capturing sensor of the video recording device, wherein the light emitting device operably emits light with a wavelength within a first predetermined span onto the background screen,

wherein one of the video recording devices is arranged to capture video images of the casino gaming device and of the background screen;

wherein the background screen operably reflects the emitted light from the light emitting device, and wherein the video recording device operably captures light reflected from the background screen,

wherein after the captured light is captured by the video recording device, the captured light with a wavelength within the first predetermined span is calibrated by the video recording device, based on wavelengths of light, to obtain content with a wavelength within a second predetermined span.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the studio comprises one or a plurality of micro studios, wherein said one or a plurality of micro studio comprises a background screen, a gaming device, one or a plurality of video recording devices and one or a plurality of microphones communicatively coupled to an audio/video integration device.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein said audio/video integration device operably performs audio/video integration functionality, wherein the audio/video integration device operably communicates integrated audio/video data to an audio/video data streaming provider data center via a communications network.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the audio/video streaming provider data center operably receives live casino game audio/video data streams from said studio, for generating casino operator specific audio/video data streams by mixing said live casino game audio/video data streams with casino operator specific content, and for providing said generated casino operator specific audio/video data streams to the game user device.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the background screen comprises glass beads that act as reflectors.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting device comprises LED lights.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the captured light with a wavelength within a first predetermined span generates content with pixels corresponding to light with a wavelength within the second predetermined span, based on wavelengths of light.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the pixels corresponding to light with a wavelength within the first predetermined span is calibrated to pixels corresponding to light with a wavelength within the second predetermined span.

9. A method in a system for enabling network based live casino gaming, wherein a game user is enabled to participate from a remote location via a game user device in a live casino game operated by a casino operator, the method comprising:

emitting light with a wavelength within a first predetermined span onto a background screen,

reflecting, by the background screen, the emitted light,

capturing, by a video recording device, light reflected from the background screen, and

after the video recording device captures the light, calibrating, by the video recording device, the captured light with a wavelength within the first predetermined span into content with a wavelength within a second predetermined span, based on wavelengths of light.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the screen comprises glass beads that act as reflectors.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the light emitting device comprises LED lights.

12. A computer program product for enabling network based live casino gaming, wherein a game user is enabled to participate from a remote location in a live casino game operated by a casino operator, the computer program product comprising: computer program code portions configured to direct a processor to perform the steps and functions of:

emitting light with a wavelength within a first predetermined span onto a background screen,

reflecting, by the background screen, the emitted light,

capturing, by a video recording device, light reflected from the background screen, and

after the video recording device captures the light, calibrating, by the video recording device, the captured light with a wavelength within the first predetermined span into light with a wavelength within a second predetermined span, based on wavelengths of light.
