Abstract
Implementing games of chance across multiple computing devices is described. An electronic hand is associated with each computing device. The electronic hand includes a set of characters having a value. An electronic bid, which is a total quantity of a character of the set characters at a particular value, is initiated. An electronic challenge to the electronic bid is initiated. An actual quantity of the character at the particular value in the bidding electronic hand is determined. A point value is allocated to the bidder if the actual quantity of the character at the particular value is greater than or equal to the total quantity of the character at the particular value in the electronic bid. The point value is adjusted based on a bid value, and/or bid level, and/or the number of participants.
