I just got back from playing on one of the new PokerTek electronic poker tables at the Excalibur, and I really liked it. Despite feeling a little foreign at first, it was easy to get used to and nice to see exactly how much cash everyone had in front of them. You could set them to auto-muck, sit out (yes, just like online ) and pull up the previous hand. And no dirty chips to pass around so I actually felt like I could pop a Tic Tac without minions of bacteria accompanying it into my mouth.
They had a high hand jackpot in the form of a wheel spin for aces full or better, and I didn't know about it until the guy next to me got aces full of nines and called the floor guy over. I'd had aces full of queens an hour or so earlier, so I asked if it was good retroactively. He pulled up my hand history and I ended up winning $50 on the wheel. Add that to the $86 I won playing .50/1 NLHE and it was a nice take. The biggest pot was one where I raised preflop with AK and got two callers, who both somehow ended up all in on an AxK flop. I had them both covered. One had a bad ace and the other had queens. Niiiiiiiice.....
Anyway, the electronic tables were great and I'd stay at the Excalibur next time I'm in Vegas just to conveniently play them. They also spread low-limit PLO there but I didn't get the chance to sample that.
