New Technology That May Be Found in Land-based Casinos
Blackjack is a game that is well known and liked but hasn’t seen much of a change throughout its history. As counters find new methods, casinos find new ways to prevent them from achieving success and so on, but the game remains the same. There are many variations of blackjack, but the classic is still a favorite. To see a list and explanation of variations, check out our popular blackjack game variations page.
MOTO Development Group figured that if the game wasn’t going to change, they would bring a new, fun, and exciting way to play it to the table. Instead of bringing new things to the table, MOTO ended up bringing a new table entirely.
On Tuesday, MOTO presented its first round multi-touch casino gaming table prototype at the Global Gaming Expo 2010 in Las Vegas. The surface of the table is a touch sensitive computer monitor. Many players can play on the table at once because it possesses multi-touch capabilities and can process what’s happening in several places at once. The table features both blackjack and Texas Hold’Em Poker games.
A dealer must attend a table and deal cards to players by sliding their finger along the screen. Cards appear face down, but when a player cups his/her hand over the cards and slides it up, he/she can see a piece of each card. Bets are placed by dragging virtual chips into the center of the table.
MOTO says that the multi-touch table needs a lot of work before it can be marketed to casinos. Security and human learning curve issues must be resolved before the table can be considered fully functional.
The widespread introduction of the new table would make land-based casino gambling one step closer to online gambling. The table features the same buttons that can be found on online casinos including ready, clear bets, stand, hit, etc. One example that can be seen online is blackjack at Bodog Casino.
Bodog Casino is a high-class internet casino based on RealTime Gaming software. This internet casino accepts American players and offers high-quality game play, similar to what MOTO’s table offers, only better because all of the kinks have been worked out.
