Majestic Star Casinos in Gary is experimenting with electronic game delivery systems developed by Shuffle Master Inc. Earlier this year the casino installed Rapid Roulette, a selection in the Rapid Table Games line. However, what garnered the most excitement was the news in May that Majestic introduced Table Master Blackjack and Table Master Three Card Poker.
Each Table Master Console is 2.74 meters across and 7½ feet tall with room for five player positions. What people pay attention to from the first is the life size plasma screen with the image of a life size dealer from the waist up, talking with the players and makes card dealing motions. With a clear view of the player is a video screen depicting the table layout. Player decision making is a push-button process, after which the "dealer" plays out his hand. Bets are settled, and a new game begins. The dealers all look like they have come right out of a fashion magazine, set against a background of eye catching themes which change every twenty minutes.
The Table Master is good for players who feel that they are intimidated by a live table, since they may not know what goes where and why, but they do feel more comfortable when the game is played in a video slot format. Another thing that lures players to the game is its $1 minimum bet.
Indeed, it is so very simple to start playing. Buying in is as easy as playing a slot machine. The positions are equipped to accept both currency and slot tickets. When you wish to leave the game, all you have to do is flick a switch and you will be given a voucher, which you can redeem for cash at the cashier’s.
