Technology is that which makes our life easier and more comfortable, that which performs more efficiently with the least costs, and since the industrial revolution we have learned to use what we learn from science to create more comfort and efficiency. An example of this is the use of the Electronic Poker Table in a number of card rooms.

Electronic Poker tables are about the same size of any normal poker table, only the dealer seat is missing because the table does this job of course. They consist of a main screen and other mini screens in front of each player. The main screen is for the community cards, while the hole cards are on each player’s little screen. The electronic Poker table can be programmed for any game profile which is one of the reasons that makes it very useful and practical.

They have many features that make them very helpful and better than other tables, such as hiding the cards whenever the player does not hide the screen that displays them with his hand, also card cheating or dealing mistakes are impossible using the electronic Poker table. When bet are placed on this table player have to hit a confirm button before the bet is place on the screen Also one of the reasons they are considered a good progress is that they are much faster than the usual dealers, it is claimed that 50-60% more Texas Holdem hands can be played per hour at one of these tables than at a manual table. Another feature is not having to tip dealers which increases the profits.

The electronic poker table is not yet widely popular since it is relatively new yet it has been seen in quite a number of card rooms. There are however those who believe that the new type of table takes away the human element to a greater degree and that players are no longer going to be able to read their opponents properly so that they can tell what the opponent is thinking. Many dealers are likely to lose their jobs if the electronic poker table becomes the mainstay of the industry.

It is yet to be seen what kind of impact these tables will have on the industry as a whole. Many persons are just fearful of new things and maybe there will be wide acceptance and little or no displacement of personnel. There are those who believe that these types of tables are best suited for lower stakes online poker games.
