Poker Table Automatically Generates Video And Onscreen Graphics

From Hobbyist Beats Hollywood At TV Poker Technology last year:

In three months of his spare time a hobbyist built a combination of poker table and software that beats most professional TV poker systems. It uses RFID chips and cameras to televise the game in real time, with hole cards and winning probabilities.

I was excited at the prospect of cheaper production of poker TV shows, perhaps with more information onscreen. Now the hobbyist, Andrew Milner, has upped the ante with touchscreens replacing cards and chips.

  1. Gaming Partners International has a product called RFIDPoker, which uses RFID chips and counters to count pots and such. It could also be used as part of a system to stream live poker or reduce the production cost of poker TV shows. You can read more about it in International Casino Review magazine and a press release.
