think you are right about not being able to replace the players. For one, new younger players who never even experience live gaming will not know any other way and will be excited to play casino action even though it is stale and calculated. Also, if we have to choose between no casinos or casinos with no live dealers, well certainly some people will rather go and have them rather than not at all which will keep them in business. I am not looking forward to the electronic takeover. Ever see the Terminator movies? Man that stuff is not so far out after all. Way too many business reasons to replace people with computers and profit is what means the most usually. Thats why I am a computer programmer, so I dont get replaced, but rather I cause the replacing! Well, not really, I dont program robots to take over human jobs and no telling if a computer might be programmed to do my job and replace me. Just trying to survive in the electronic jungle...
