Excalibur To Kill Its Poker Room

Soon the Excalibur, the medieval themed casino on the Las Vegas strip, will take a step into the future by replacing all the human dealers in their poker room with computers. The poker room, closed as of Monday the 18th, will reopen on August 22nd with a dozen PokerPro tables in place. The tables, made by PokerTek, handle the dealing, shuffling, chip collecting and dispensing of cash duties, leaving the players at their touch screens only needing to worry about their poker game. These tables can double the number of hands dealt in an hour by eliminating the chips and cards.
