In my honest opinion I think we will see the end of chips before we seen the end of dealers. With the ability to pay customers with TITO or stored cards, I really don’t see casinos removing cash value chips off their tables for a least 3 – 5 years. It could be possible that we will see NCV Chips (like roulette chips gone sooner).

At Harrah’s NKC, they have a roulette Table that has no chips. The dealer spins the wheel just like normal but the players are paid electronically. The players can’t cap bets, there are no pay mistakes and the casino doesn’t need to buy roulettes (or need to re-order them). I’m not sure but I think the players are paid by TITO.

My take on Black Jack and 3 card poker, I like them. I like the ability to play $1 - $3 a hand and not have to worry about some yelling at me because I stood on a 12 against the dealers 2 or 3 showing.

I’ve never played an electronic poker game but I would like to give it a shot just to see how they play. I’ve always thought that they should have low end electronic games (under $1 minimums) to get new players used to a “more live feel” of the game (making a games for cross over customers moving from internet poker to live poker). Then they would be more likely to play a 2 - 4 or 3 – 6 once they got the hang of it.
