PokerTek Goes To The High Seas
While in Vegas during the WPBT (World Poker Blogger Tour) even at Caesar's Palace in Decemeber, the bloggers in attendance were treated to a private party from PokerTek. They had brough along their wares for a informal introduction to what could become a new twist on how and where live poker is played.

I was able to take down full ring table "sit and go" tourney with a little help from the RNG, and managed a not-so-great showing at heads-up match table costing me a new release DVD at Target due to a sidebet made under the table . The play was fairly smooth, and ability to flip up your cards only by placing your hands over them, allowed extra protection against railbirds trying to look over your shoulder. Also, the ease of internet poker in knowing exactly the chip counts of all players at times, along with the speed of the internet game brought some fun to the table for those used to the faster paced game.

Now, PokerTek has announced their partnership with Princess Cruise Lines to include their tables on their ships.

Here's the offical press release:
