Electronic Poker Tables

In an odd mash-up of the old video arcade cocktail tables of the past, and the high wheeling poker dealing casinos of the present, we find these very cool electronic poker tables from PokerTek. Their ten player model, called the PokerPro® is set to take the casino rooms by storm. Here are a few of their product claims:

Fast, Mistake-Free Dealing

* The PokerPro® System increases hands dealt per hour, which directly correlates to increased revenue (up to 50% more in Texas Hold’em and up to 100% more in Omaha).
* No wasted time mediating table disputes, PokerPro is 100% accurate.

Decreased Labor

* It requires fewer staff to run a fully-automated poker room, and allows
more time to focus on satisfying guests.

Game Flexibility

* Unlimited number of configurable game profiles.
* Allows operators to run their poker room like a manual room, but more efficiently, since games can be changed at the click of a button.
* PokerPro® Heads-Up™ provides a profitable way to offer heads-up poker.

Extensive Reporting

* Traditionally, poker room managers have had limited reporting tools. But with PokerPro’s daily/weekly reporting capabilities, managers now have extensive information to run a productive and profitable poker room.

Over 20 standard reports:

* Financial Analysis
* Player and Performance Tracking
* Instant Accounting
* Game Evaluation

We haven't yet had the pleasure of seeing them in action, but we sure want one for our gaming room :)
