The Excalibur Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas says it is removing touch-screen monitors from its poker room and will return to a traditional setup with live dealers.

Tablemaker PokerTek Inc. and hotel owner MGM Mirage said Tuesday that the tables would be removed July 5.

Players use the touch-screens to control action at the tables, with no chips, cards or dealers.

MGM Mirage officials say they found that players prefer live dealers to automatic tables.
