PokerTek looks to expand globally
PokerTek Inc. plans to start marketing and distributing its PokerPro automated poker tables to markets in other countries.
“Significant opportunities exist to increase market share for PokerPro, particularly in the European gaming markets,” says Mark Roberson, PokerTek’s acting chief executive.
The Matthews-based company recently installed its first PokerPro table in Mexico at the Emotion Bingo gaming property in Puerto Vallarta.
PokerTek (NASDAQ:PTEK) is a software-development company that markets electronic tables for up to 10 players of Texas Hold ’Em fast cash loans. The company’s PokerPro system deals cards, displays them on private screens to the players and provides general information on a large screen in the center of the table. It also enables customers to set up accounts for betting and keeps statistical information on the games.
The system is designed to boost casino revenue by increasing the number of hands per hour and reducing poker rooms’ labor costs.
