Described herein are methods, systems and apparatus for determining a player position in an instance of a game. Embodiments include retrieving a placement value for each player in a set of players wherein the placement value represents a relative measure of advantages and disadvantages related to position experienced by each player in prior game instances; and determining player position assignments for a current game instance based upon the placement values. In one embodiment, determining player position assignments includes determining a number of lottery entries for each player based on the placement value of each player, the lottery entries being used to determine player positions for the players in a current instance of a game. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed.

Methods and systems for determining a player position in a game

In accordance with some embodiments, methods and systems provide for tagging an amount of virtual currency with a source identifier that identifies the player who originally deposits the virtual currency with an online gaming establishment. Thereafter, as the tagged virtual currency is used for wagering, and fragmented into smaller units as sub-amounts of it are wagered and lost to other players, the tag comprising the source identifier persists or is generated and associated anew with each such sub-unit as the sub-amount of virtual currency is moved to virtual wagering stacks of other players. This allows for crediting the player who originally deposited virtual currency with the online gaming establishment for revenue to the gaming establishment as the virtual currency is wagered (whether by the originally depositing player or subsequent players who win the virtual currency so tagged and then re-wager it on subsequent game events).

Systems and methods for attributing casino revenue to the original depositor

In accordance with some embodiments, systems, methods and articles of manufacture (e.g., non-transitory computer readable medium) provide for outputting a status (or progress in) betting for a hand (or round of a hand) of an electronic card game. For example, a betting progress indicator may comprise a visual indicator of betting for the hand and may progress from player to player during a hand (or round of a hand) as players Call or Fold but may be reset once a player Raises, thus efficiently indicating to all players that the player who Raised has re-opened betting for the hand (or round of a hand) and that any player after that player who has not previously Folded will need to make another betting decision in the current hand (or round of a hand).
