PokerTek has announced the release of PokerPro Heads-Up, the industry’s first two-seated heads-up style electronic poker table. Never before has an automated heads-up table been available for play in a casino.
“The idea is simple,” said James Crawford, PokerTek president. “Poker players love to play heads-up poker and casino operators are constantly looking for new ways to meet their customers’ needs. In the past, it’s been hard to find a casino that would deal a heads-up game for regular players. Now, PokerPro Heads-Up offers casinos a profitable way to spread heads-up poker.”
The company thinks brick-and-mortar casino operators will jump at the chance to install the new tables on their floors since they apparently use only 20 per cent of the floor space of a traditional table. Additionally, the tables remove the need for the costly hand-dealing of such games.
PokerTek adds that the PokerPro Heads-Up tables incorporate all the usual PokerPro technology benefits like speed, accuracy and secure, cashless gaming.
