I like the sound of real cards and chips. edit - The full ring game tables might be cool. I'd miss the feel and sound of real cards and chips, but I could play more hands per hour, and the 60 seconds to act rule would speed the game along. Good for internet players looking to play live.

I would spend the 9k on a new sportbike, and buy a deck of cards with those nekked ladies on 'um.

A number of casinos are looking at them. Some of the tribes are looking at them to use for inter-tribal on-site US based poker alternative. Personaly I think it is a mistake and would miss the chips and cards. Even home games with mis-deals are preferable to this type of automation.......

Not much action playing on a machine. They lasted only about 1 month and they were gone. Besides, How do you tip a machine ?

Cost to play? 2 bucks.....per person! 4 bucks to play heads up!

They should factor in the money they make off of drinks. I would only ever play that game if I could get someone to play for $20 a game. Then it would be like paying rake. I think the pub frowns on people playing for money. Lame. The game looks tight, though!

The 10 person machines never filled up and they were out of there within 6 months. The heads up machine lasted about 2 months. Complete waste of money if you have live action tables 5 feet away if you ask me.
