You see chips going into the pot, then they slide to the player with the winning hand. And there's a box in front of you that tells how much money you have.

I have seen them in Hollywood, but I assume Tampa also has them. [/ QUOTE ] You assume incorrectly. Tampa's management declined to take them. If they add them, I will stop playing there. End of dicusssion.

Re: Computerized Poker Tables
I really hated the idea of them, but have since changed my mind.
IF: these machines would be allowed in rooms that currently can't have a pokerroom by law, or would induce casinos without a pokerroom to at least install these and IF: casinos that currently have pokerrooms would use them not as replacements for their current live operations, but rather as an alternative (especially for people stuck on the wait list) THEN these things could be a great addition to poker. As long as they don't replace traditional tables completely (they won't), then anything that allows me to play while I wait for a seat is fine by me.

Re: Computerized Poker Tables
I could see these things taking over if not for the boom in online poker. Think about it, the B&Ms would save a boatload of cash with these because they wouldn't have to hire dealers.
But in the current environment, the casinos do have to compete with online. They probably wouldn't be able to do that very well if all they offered is virtual poker tables that wouldn't be much different than what you could get at home. They're fine as an alternative because there are some casino players who would prefer them, I'm sure. And as a few have said, if a casino without an existing poker room added a few of these as a low-cost way to add poker, that would be OK, too. But I doubt that any casino that is serious about attracting poker players in large numbers would be successful trying to do it exclusively with these things.

for many casinos that would not otherwise have a pokerroom [/ QUOTE ] Many "casinos" here in the UK are basically a bunch of fruit machines (slots) and electronic roullete. I can see this catching on, but will never replace a quality cardroom.

Re: Computerized Poker Tables
while i'm not a big fan of it, I do see the following as an advantage.
You will get more hands per hour, and you will be playing those more hands at a higher limit against worser players than you would online. How many of us wouldn't love to play a 1/2 NL for example, against a bunch of people who play as bad as the PP 25NL players do?
