Are Chipless Poker Tables Finally Becoming a Reality?
Pechanga Resort Casino in California has just installed eight electronic poker tables. No dealers, no playing cards, and perhaps most interesting to collectors, no physical casino chips.
I've brought up these very tables in discussions before and remember someone telling me this would never happen.
Well, it's happening.
Poker rooms aren't exactly big moneymakers for casinos, and eliminating dealers and the expense of handling physical chips could make these tables pretty attractive to casino operators.
So what happens if other casinos start following Pechanga's lead? And what could it mean for the future of casino chips?
I've written more about the installation, the economics behind it, and what it could mean for our hobby over at PokerChipper.
