I'm not a big cards player, but one of the things I love is physically holding the cards in my hands and shuffling them. Isn’t this taking the whole fun out of poker?

If a digital screen is being used, it should be HD and with some wild animations. Also if you have a digital table, why not have access to your personal bank account, that you can register prior to arriving to the casino, or just have a card swipe option. And to beef it up even more, why not allow you to order the drinks right from your seat through the table itself? To avoid cheating each screen should be surrounded by some type of a cover. Also the monitors themselves might need to take a little angle to produce some glare. Because the table is digital, it leaves cheaters a lot of room to play with, which can lead to potential problems for casino owners, even thought now they could cut the dealers out of their payroll. Best feature with this device is probably for casino owners to be able to cut their staff expense. This is a good idea that still needs some improvements.It's no where close to Microsoft's interactive touch screen table project, but a start. Cheers Cheers.
