I just played my first extended ring game session at Oaklawn Race Track in Hot Springs, AR on a computerized Poker Pro table. I have to say, I did miss having a dealer, doing some theraputic chip riffling and having actual cards- but it was nice to be able to get a hand dealt on the order of once every 45-60 seconds. The rake was about the same as having a live dealer, except for the one fact that the poker pro tables did not adhere to the "no flop, no drop" rule on chopped pots between the BB and SB.
It was almost a nice compromise between the (sometimes) agonizing wait of having the dealer shuffle, collect the cards in the muck and calculate the rake- and the hyper speed of playing online. I would hate to see these machines completely replace dealers, but I think it's a nice alternative to have in some casinos. I was just curious to see what other people's opinions and experiences wer with the Poker Pro table or any similar machines.
I think they updated the operating system recently. The last time I used one of these tables was about a year ago, and the interface seems a lot more intuitive now.
