Gaming table systems can include multiple electronic gaming tables, multiple gaming terminals, and a system server. Each gaming terminal can have a terminal controller adapted to facilitate the overlapping or simultaneous play by a single player of multiple wager-based table games at multiple electronic gaming tables. A server in communication with the gaming tables controls starting times of the wager-based table games by sending signals to the tables indicating when each game is allowed to start. Signals can be sent due to triggering events and/or can cause staggered starting times across games, which can allow faster players to play more games. The server can also control which gaming tables starts a next game, distribute table usage, and confirm that wagers are placed within a proper time frame for their respective games. A compliance server can verify eligibility of remote gaming terminals to participate in wager-based game play in the system.
