User device method for wireless electronic table game scoreboard

Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to a user device method for a wireless electronic table game scoreboard. A method includes a user device establishing a communication link to an electronic scoring system comprising an electronic scoreboard, and transmitting, to a data transmission module of the electronic scoring system, at least one game parameter for a game to be played using the electronic scoring system and an overlay video request. The method further includes the user device receiving, from the data transmission module a first score of the game, a second score of the game, and a first recorded video of the game. The first recorded video includes a graphical overlay generated by the electronic scoring system. Updates to the graphical overlay, are generated by the electronic scoring system in response to changes to at least one of the first score of the game or the second score of the game.
