Automated Poker Tables Win Fans

By launchpoker, Jan 24, 2008

The idea was a new one: poker tables with no dealers. There were no chips or cards either - at least not the physical kind. Players sat down and swiped their credit card to play, each with their very own touch screen to use in playing the most popular poker game around, Texas Holdem. The Fantasy Springs Casino that added automated poker tables to the mix found that some regulars were not happy about it, but the lower tips, lower rake and less time taken between hands began to win them over. The Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California, has installed five 10 seat tables.
