Abstract

A self-contained apparatus for displaying poker tournament information, the apparatus having an operator-input interface, control circuitry and a display. The operator-input interface is dedicated to receiving input relating to the poker tournament from a human operator. The control circuitry is coupled to receive the input relating to the poker tournament from the operator-input interface and to generate, based at least in part on the input, information relating to the poker tournament. The information generated by the control circuitry is displayed to poker tournament players on the display.
