Poker tables with video dealer

I am from CT and was wondering if the casinos have Propoker tables that are similar to online playing but you all sit at an actual table and everyone has their own screen and the center of the table is a large screen where the cards are delt. They have the tables at Mohegan Sun, a casino in upstate CT. I havn%26#39;t sat down at one yet, just have watched, but they look like fun! I am heading to Las Vegas in September and wanted to know if I should look for them there? Thanks!

we are there in oct,let us know if you find tables,great idea.

Poker tables with video dealer

I saw that at Sahara.. not sure about the other casinos, sorry, I wasn%26#39;t looking for them. The reason I noticed that at Sahara was because there were a couple of people playing, and they all were saying ';COME ON!!!!!'; to the screen (to the dealer). It looked fun, but after 5 minutes or so everyone stood and and left the table shaking heads.

thanks.

At Mohegan Sun they had 5 tables. All were full with players, with a waiting list for more people to join. Some tables were $2/$5 no limit, others were $3/$6 limit, and they also had a tournament with $60 buy-in and you get 3000 in chips. Top placed players get the money. Lots of people were watching, poker players were having a great time. No delay of cards being delt. It was like Full Tilt Poker on-line, except real people were sitting at the table.

Jetsc - Not sure if it%26#39;s still there, but they had a ';practice table'; at Mohegan where you could sit and the pit boss would let you play a few hands for free just to get a feel for how it works.

The coolest part is how when you touch the screen where your cards are, it turns up just the corners of the cards just like you would in real life.

I think this would take a little getting used to. I would not recommend it for beginning players because they might have trouble following the action and there is no human dealer to help you.

The casinos will love it because it promotes faster play (which equals more pots and more $ per hour for the house), and because they do not have to pay a human dealer.

Next time I am up at Mohegan Sun I am going to try it. It looks like fun. I am used to playing online so it should be easy to pick up. I didn%26#39;t discover the tables until about an hour before I was leaving and there was a waiting list of people ahead of me. It was a Saturday night and the casino was busy. I go during the week when it is apt to be less busy and I will try it then. It doesn%26#39;t sound like I will find the tables in LV. :(

Just curious... what%26#39;s wrong with a live dealer?

Recently played at the ProPoker tables at the WPT room in the FourWinds Casino near Chicago. It was quite a fun experience.

It could have been a bit daunting were I to familiarize myself with the system on my own but thankfully there was a demo table and some friendly staff who walked me through the basics.

The only word of advise I%26#39;d give anyone looking for a ProPoker table is to first get used to the basics and make sure you are comfortable - the last thing you want when sitting down at a poker table is a feeling of discomfort about how you%26#39;re going to play the game!

Jetsc: I%26#39;m in Vegas in July and will post back with updates if I find any ProPoker locations that may be worth visiting.

I played this for the first time this weekend, at Four Winds casino in Michigan.

I hated it. I%26#39;ve been playing online poker for at least five years, and live casino poker for fifteen years. Pros and cons as I see them:

PRO: I think it would be easier for new players, because it signals you when it%26#39;s your turn to act, your options are clearly displayed, blinds are automatic, etc. I know a good dealer would be able to help with all of this, but most dealers don%26#39;t assume you%26#39;re new, and you might not want to advertise to the whole table that you don%26#39;t know what you%26#39;re doing!

PRO: More hands per hour.

PRO: Higher profit because no dealer to tip.

CON: I missed the feel of cards in my hand

CON: Less tells, because no one is handling cards or chips, and most people are staring at their screen.

CON: Less interaction.... again, people are focused on a video screen, so it%26#39;s a MUCH quieter room. (Again, here I%26#39;m losing tells)

And for me, the biggest CON:

Every bet is a string bet.

At no limit, bets come out one chip at a time.... for example if I wanted to bet, say, $18, I%26#39;d have to click on $5 three times then $1 three times. The chips show on the video ';table'; one at a time. Without typing for a page, I%26#39;ll just say that there is good reason that ';real'; poker has strict rules against this form of betting.

Sorry to write a novel, but I REALLY hope these don%26#39;t become more popular!

as a dealer, i would urge everbody to avoid these machines...they won%26#39;t be buying your cars, your groceries,paying taxes or voluntering in your neighbourhood.
