Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, MI has all PokerTek Electronic Poker Tables in their poker room. I play about once a month on Saturdays and have never seen the poker room full. With a $3 max rake the 19 table room should be packed on weekends. I like playing on the e-tables but at this point have no idea how they will do long term. One thing for sure the Casinos have to love them. I also heard Nevada has given the OK to PokerTek to have e-tables there.

Have those who play on them regularly experienced many technical problems? I'm just thinking of the inability of many casinos to properly maintain shuffle machines in their standard tables. I can't imagine the trouble they could conceivably have with full-fledged electronic tables.

At HP there used to be one table that regularly "tilted" when you banged your knee against it. The floor would have to reset it. The biggest problems were that every single new e-table player had to be taught how to play and this took a lot of time away from the game. If a casino is going to spread all e-tables they'll need to have a staffed training table.
