Fat Diamond Electronic Table Game
The
gaming industry has evolved hand in hand with the advances in electronics in
the past 10 years. Today, most slots work from a computer either on board or
from a central server. Touch screens have replaced the familiar buttons of the
original models. Recently the roulette table has taken on a new look with
individual player touch screens replacing the scramble to place chips on a
common board.
Poker
has enjoyed an amazing resurgence in resent years with the innovation of table
cams and televised events. The number of players that have taken up the game is
staggering.
However
the majority of today’s players have yet to sit at a poker table in a casino.
That is about to change...

Simplified
Interface:
The popularity of poker is self-evident. Poker rooms run near capacity and
online sites have from 6,000 to 13,000 people playing at any time. Fat Diamond
Gaming Tables will give these new players an interface that they are familiar
with and bring them into the casino environment. Playing face to face with
another player adds a dimension to the game that all players seek. Our project
comes from that desire.
Hole card Flap:
Playing online is fine in private when your opponents can not see your screen
but that becomes impossible in an open forum like a Casino. The addition of the
flap concealing your cards makes this possible.
Administration
simplified:
Our simple table administration is housed in a standalone POS style control
center. The software we have developed can be adapted to integrate with
existing systems using the SAS protocol.
Compact design for Casino floor efficiency:
The elegant and appealing design of the Fat Diamond table also brings a hidden
feature. The three leg design simplifies the installation as it is self
leveling on any surface. Each leg incorporates cup holders to give the player a
self contained playing station that is defined by the changes in angle as you
go around the table. The player has a sense of ownership and domain. The small
foot print of the Fat Diamond table takes half the space of the standard dealer
poker table. Two tables in the same floor space provides more flexibility,
allowing different games or blind structures to be played on each of the
tables.
Six
player format for speedier play:
The origins of poker had 6 or 7 players. The economics of a dealer dictated a
ten player table format in casinos. For the player, the speed of the game is
increased with 6 players. With only 6 combinations of two cards exposed the
opening hand requirements become more flexible. This adds to the excitement and
changes the dynamics.
"Poker is a game that consists of hours of boredom punctuated with minutes of
shear terror."
The six player format provides for speedier play because fewer people are
deciding to play or flop. Good players are in very few hands beyond the flop
and most players are sitting waiting for a hand to finish.
