Abstract

A table card game is provided in which the players at the table play essentially a common card game with the dealer handling the deal essentially as if all players are playing a common game, while handling bets and resolution of winners within two or more groups of players among the players at the table. The table card game can be played with teams. Such teams are made up of players in different groups, playing at a same table, or at different tables. The scoring for a team can then be as a function of the number of teammate players having won as individual players. A broadcast of the card game may contain the information about the play of the game within each group, as well as the progress of the game at the table as a whole. In the case of teams, the broadcast can contain the relevant team information about each team's performance.
