“A baccarat table, if operated automatically, is around US$175,000 cheaper a year to run than a live table,” he adds. 

“In the first year an electronic table might typically be only 38% cheaper to run than a live table because of the initial capital outlay. In the second year, though, it’s about 90% cheaper.  

“In the case of our table you might typically spread the capital cost over five years as the life of the product is significant,” states Mr Kinsman.  

“If you do it over five years, in the first year it’s going to be US$150,000—net—cheaper to run than a live table. It’s a multi-game system and we’re continually developing new products. It’s a SAS 6 table capable of talking to all monitoring systems and it connects to all networks, etc.”
