Tuesday 19th September 2006
PokerTek has received regulatory product approval from the Michigan Gaming Control Board to distribute the PokerPro system in the State of Michigan, making it the first automated poker table to receive approval in the Great Lake State.
'This approval allows us to finalise contract negotiations with several commercial casinos in the State of Michigan,” said Lou White, chief executive officer of PokerTek. “We are very excited about this approval, and are looking forward to receiving additional approvals in other jurisdictions in the coming months.”
PokerTek develops and markets the PokerPro system, an electronic poker table that provides a fully automated poker room environment. The system was developed to increase casino revenue by increasing hands per hour, while reducing labour costs within poker rooms. Pokertek currently has 26 patents pending covering various aspects of the PokerPro system.
