Re: World\'s Largest Fully Automated Poker Room
"but the Four Winds is the first casino to go totally automated, a prospect that has manufacturer PokerTek licking their chops."
This is not true. The Southland dog-track in West Memphis, Arkansas has a poker-room that only uses these tables (because only electronic gaming is allowed...no physical cards or chips are allowed in Arkansas). So unless the FourWinds did this several months ago I don't think they are the first. |

Re: World\'s Largest Fully Automated Poker Room
Here's a link to the rather unspectacular but slick looking Memphissport magazine.
http://www.memphissport.net/images/m...NE6/index.html On page 12-14 is an article about the poker-room at Southland. The article says that the automated Southland poker-room has been open since April and has 8 tables. I think there's an ad for the room on page 11 but I'm not getting that page to load for some reason. |

Re: World\'s Largest Fully Automated Poker Room
Oh yeah. I thought he'd left, but then I couldn't recall. I'm so out of it these days.
Doomswitch must not work, then. It required someone with the "nice guy" persona of Lee as a smokescreen, and how many of people like that are there in poker? |

Rake is $3 at 4 Winds vs. $5 at most competitors with a $1 bad beat and no dealer tokes.

Re: World\'s Largest Fully Automated Poker Room
I was skeptical, and dissapointed when I heard 4W was putting in an all electronic room. I've been converted. Hell, I wish they'd let me 2 table!
I love paying the low rake with no dealer errors or delays for management bullcrap. Around here they charge $6 every 1/2 hour for $1/2nl with a max $200 buy in. And take their sweet ass time with everything. $8 for 2/5. I hate paying time. I love the no time charge and low rake. Love it. |

Re: World\'s Largest Fully Automated Poker Room
Serious question: how do they protect these games against collusion/cheating, when there's nobody there to observe the players' conduct during the hands? q/q |
