What are everyone\'s thoughts on the all electronic tables?
A new casino just opened near me and all the poker room has is those new electronic tables, no chips, no dealers, no cards just a screen...
What does everyone this about these tables, to me it just seems like a live version of online poker. I am thinking about playing on them, but just feel like I should save the time and either play online or at my regular boat that has regular poker. Do you find that people seem to play tighter or looser with no chips in front of them? Just curuious what everyone thinks...

Lots hate them and would rather play with chips/cards. Some areas that don't have actual table games allowed, the players love them cuz it gets them away from their computer, ect..ect...

Re: What are everyone\'s thoughts on the all electronic tables?
I started 4 years ago with the intention of making machines like these, because I could see they were the future, but the business I set up for it morphed along a different path focussing more on the software side. Now these machines are here, they are here to stay. They have too many advantages to fail. I tire of the slow play and constant arguments about mistakes in traditional games, who's turn it is to post, how much the blinds are, who can straddle, acting out of turn etc. etc.
I've not played on one of these machines yet and I'm looking forward to it. They will not suit everyone's preference but I think a lot of people will really come to like them. I believe that most B&M poker in the future will be on electronic tables. Bear in mind that the technology will soon allow massive tourneys joining many casinos simultaneously.

Re: What are everyone\'s thoughts on the all electronic tables?
played for first time @Four Winds, New Buffalo MI last week in a short handed 2/5 $500 max game for about 3 hours....seemed fine to me...it is just technology, so, if the game is profitable, don't care if PokerPro/PokerTek or humans deal....
first reaction is that clicking e-chips induces a bit more looseness, e.g., seemed to be a little easier to click on 1 black e-chip compared to pushing a tower of red physical chips one thing I would think PokerPro/PokerTek could do with the B&M's would be to provide hand histories...don't know if that is an implementation option or not as yet compared to on-line, with PokerPro you obv get the additional benefit of live player info/tells or whatever you want to call it...

how do you hide your cards? [/ QUOTE ] it's a touch screen. The cards are only visible when you touch them.

If the casino is near you, go there and find out for yourself. Let us know.

Re: What are everyone\'s thoughts on the all electronic tables?
As much as some people think this is the future and that electronic tables will take over, I point to blackjack to refute this claim. Blackjack is ideally suited to electronic play, and although there are plenty of video blackjack machines, it doesn't seem that the real tables are being displaced by them at all. Part of the real attraction of going to a casino is interacting with other people and using real cards and chips. I think that will always be there.
The counter-example to this is what has happened to slot machines. Now you just put your card in, push a button, and redeem your printout. Quite a difference from putting coins in, pulling an arm, and hearing the big ka-ching of change falling when you hit. But slot players are mindless dolts, so I don't think it's a good analogy.
