Trump Plaza hotel and casino in Atlantic City have been testing electronic poker tables for a couple of months now. But the outcome and the response from their players weren't as good as they had hoped for. So now after a couple of months of trying out electronic poker tables, they will be removed and good old tables and real dealers will shortly be back at the casino.
The advantages with electronic poker tables are many. For example the rake is much lower since there isn't a human dealer that need a wage and tips, less miss deals, less risk of people cheating, a faster game and also easier for beginners to learn the rules. The disadvantages are that it's not the same feeling as playing at a real poker table with a real dealer, and that everyone is sitting quite starring at their own monitor. With other words it removes the social thing with playing live at a casino.
14 tables are going out
Trump Plaza had 14 tables and the management had really high hopes for the electronic poker tables. But they could see only after a few months of trying that the older players and even the younger ones still liked the feeling of a real table more than with the electronic poker tables. The casino management could also see and feel that the atmosphere wasn't the same at the casino with the electronic poker tables.
if you go in a casino to play poker you want chips, cards and real player. This is the old fashion of poker
