French approve RFIDPoker
Gaming Partners International (GPI) has received approval for RFIDPoker from the French Interior and Finance Ministries following two field trials.
The system allows instant reading of the pot with RFID chips, calculates the amount of the rake, and ensures data integrity and a secure link into the casino's computer system. It boosts efficiency, and can generate up to 30 percent more hands per hour.
In tests conducted in French casinos - Joa Casino La Siesta in Antibes, and Cercle Clichy Montmartre in Paris - RFIDPoker pleased poker players and operators alike, by speeding up and by securing the game respectively.
The RFIDPoker system includes a 840 chips RFID reader, an Ethernet connection to a server, operating software, and RFID chips. It is supplied in a turnkey version, or as a kit that can be retrofitted to any table. Low-frequency 125KHz technology can enable three tables without any mutual perturbation or any interference with card shufflers.
