So I live in a little town, population of maybe 50,000. We recently just got a new Casino and it features the new electronic table games. Its pretty sad to be honest they have about 6 BJ tables and a couple 3 card and texas shootout, 400 slot machines, and two 1/2 nl electronic tables. So first off you get your name on the list, wait for about half hour then throw your money in the machine, you sign in make an account and sit down, theres a little screen infront of you and from there on its pretty much like online.I went there tonite, the casinos been open for a month now, ive been boycotting it because i hate the idea. If Im gonna go to a casino and play live i wanna have cards and chips. So i went there with 3 guys i know and we all walked out +. I cashed for $491(+$291), all the players were sooo nice to eachother and all buddy buddy(canadians), so i fit right in. There was no dealer at the table and there was a lot of angling going on. i was able to make some really good lay downs just by picking things up. Also because its all computerized there were some old guys in there that had some of the most obvious tells, when theyd go to punch in there bet or check. One guy made a mistake and pushed the call button on a big pot and paid a guy off for $100, the guy ended up losing it back to him but there was a couple mistakes that were quit funny, one guy meant to raise 8$ but he pushed $88 with like $112 behind, haha i folded, but the button put him all in, he had middle pair and lost.So i think ill be back there soon. Has anyone else ever played or seen this before?

yep, pretty much, that tables sick. Probably pretty penny for one of those tables, that would be the bomb for home games. The ones i played have like 42" screen for the board and each player has a 15 inch touch screen, not as cool as those tho. Does anyone know what kinda RNG they use, or software? or are the hands and board determined pf?, i asked the so called pit boss tonite, he said he has no idea.

Played on one of these tables on a cruise about 4 months ago. All you could ever get going was 1-2 which is donktastic to begin with. Much less when the people have digital chips in front of them. I think of myself as piss poor to terrible poker player and I still managed to make about $250 in the two sessions I played.

I don't know if it's the future, but it's definitely interesting

Excalibur Poker room was entirely electronic for quite some time, so long that they just switched back to normal tables within the past month or two. So yeah, it's been around.

My casino in south western Michigan was the first to go exclusively to electronic about 3 years ago. Now the room is dead. There's competition from tables with dealers in the area. The thing is that the donks come to try it out, they're more likely to go busto since they're getting in more hands per hour, then get pissed and never return. Of course, they blame the machines.I don't think these things will ever last. There was a period when it was all really nice when the donkeys were figuring it out, but long run they just leave.

Angling This is characterized as any acting out of turn. It is considered angling when any player folds or bets out of turn. A player who uses constant angling is known as an "angle shooter". Angling is used to make opponents bet or fold differently to that if they didn't know what the anglers play was. For example, if the angler signals to bet before his turn, other players to the angler's right react by not betting or perhaps even folding. When the round reaches the angler, the angler announces that he or she is not interested in betting after all, or winning a hand due to the opponents fold. *this happen pretty much every round*
