LEVIS, QUEBEC announced today that the Philippines Bureau of
Patents has granted a patent for DEQ's invention entitled "Method
and system for controlling and managing bets in a gaming
environment".
This patent covers a method and system for playing live casino
games remotely. For example, players standing in front of a fully
occupied baccarat table wishing to participate in the game, can now
do so using a remote console to place wagers on the games and even
for upcoming games that would be protected by this patent. Another
important feature of this approved patent is the ability to
pre-program the device to automatically place wagers on a series of
rounds on a game like baccarat with financial parameters such as
win /loss limits or specific statistical parameters. This takes
away the current physical limit of number of players per table. As
well, players can even place their bets after the live game started
for the upcoming game, which is not currently possible in a
traditional table game setting.
"Live games are no longer limited to the number of seats at the
table thus any table game such as baccarat tables can now be played
by an infinite number of players," said Marco Estrela, DEQ's Chief
Marketing Officer. "The patent strategy in the Pacific Rim
countries follows the emerging gaming markets and the features
covered in this remote betting patent aims to capitalize on the
emerging trends."
