Excalibur Poker Room Goes Electronic

Last Friday the Excalibur Casino in Las Vegas replaced all of the tables in their poker room with the PokerPro electronic poker tables made by PokerTek. This is a 90 day field test and the first PokerTek tables to be installed in Nevada.

As poker revenue declines around the country, many casinos have been adding these electronic poker tables to their poker rooms and some of them like the Excalibur are using them to replace existing poker tables that require a dealer. The Excalibur said that the poker staff would be cut from 55 to 15 because of the change.

I have played on the PokerPro tables and found that there are several advantages. The games are faster, there are no dealer mistakes and you do not have to tip when you win a pot.

This week's topic of discussion in the forum is the electronic poker tables: Have you played on the electronic poker tables? What was your experience?
