The Electronic Poker Table

There a new product of technology out there in the market for gamblers. It's the electronic poker table. It's like the regular poker table but everything is automated. There are screens for all eight players. The screen displays the cards of each player. In the middle of the poker table there's a big screen for the flop and the other cards and chips. Everything will be automated from the distribution of the cards, opening of the flop, counting of chips etc. Another feature of the electronic poker table is that you can swipe your credit card to buy in. I think in Las Vegas, Nevada they have this device but in the Philippines, I haven't seen one yet.

I love the electronic poker table. I want to experience playing poker where everything is automated. However, there are disadvantages when using this automated machine. In poker, you have to interpret the body language of your opponents, right? In the automated machine, you won't see the how the other plays count their chips or look at their cards. You'll lose the opportunity to detect body language which is crucial to the game of poker. Furthermore, jobs will be lost if we all use electronic poker tables. No manpower will be required to distribute the cards and chips. I'm pretty sure it's more economical for casinos to use automated poker tables but it won't do good to the people whose jobs are to distribute poker chips and cards(I dunno what you call them). But hey, I love this product of technology. It's exciting. It would be fun to have one in your house when you love hosting house parties and sleepovers.
