In context, it does look like it really does mean requiring the electronic tables, in particular to allow the Lottery Commission full control over teh monies.

In truth, I'd rather have that than nothing.

There are some theoretical good points about these electronic tables. I've never even seen one, but:

* They'd be as trustworthy as online poker (strong random number generators).

* They'd speed things up -- moving chips and cards does take a lot of time.

* No room for dealer error.

* Less room for player shenanigans.

* No need to tip an electronic dealer.

* Hopefully lower rake than live, because of lower overhead (but who'm I kidding, right?)
