"Is the touch tablet the same for both systems?"

Have no idea.
GPI readers were only working on the older RFID a few weeks ago, adds about $1,10 to cost of chip.
New generation RFID made for Shufflemaster Systems and new GPI readers add about $2.50 or so to cost of chip. Wynn Maccau opened with the new RFID. I doubt the Shufflemaster systen is in Maccau as they are saying Feb 2007 for Beta test in NV.
