INSIDE ASIAN GAMING | March 2012 38 TCSJOHNHUXLEY A n important barrier to acceptance of electronic table games in Asian markets is that some games rely on virtual cards generated by computer rather than on real cards drawn in front of the players’ eyes. Asian players worry that a virtual card system is not as ‘fair’ as a system with real cards. TCS JOHNHUXLEY thinks it has come up with the perfect solution—Infinity Auto Dealer. It uses real casino cards in real time in a way that can be seen very clearly on the casino floor and is also monitored by video camera. Every player on a multi-terminal game can monitor the live drawing results either by glancing at Infinity Auto Dealer directly, or watching the video feed on their own player screen. One of two prototypes of Infinity Auto Dealer was on display at TCS JH’s very popular Access All Areas product display at Kensington Roof Gardens in London during ICE Totally Gaming 2012. The other was at Novomatic’s stand at Earls Court Exhibition Centre during ICE. Infinity Auto Dealer uses six decks of cards continuously recycled across two random shuffle drums. Card delivery is gravity-fed rather than relying on the complicated robotic arm technology used in some real-time dealing products. Inside Asian Gaming spoke to Luke Davis, Head of Marketing for TCS JH, during Access All Areas London to find out more. IAG : What does Infinity Auto Dealer offer that’s new to the market?
