shuffle master teams up to go wireless

As a tech guy, this excites me. I'd love to play in a poker room where the dealer didn't need to shout at the top of their lungs every time they need a floorperson for whatever reason.

The article has no details on what the wireless poker shuffler will do, but I assume part of it will be the ability to silently request new setups, brush, floor, and (hopefully!) cocktail service.

Poker and gaming supply company Shuffle Master, Inc. announced that it has inked a strategic partnership deal with Wireless management solutions provider Ameranth Wireless, Inc. As part of the agreement, Ameranth will create a software interface, connecting its poker-room management solutions with Shuffle Master's Deck Mate ® poker card shuffler. This will create an all-encompassing poker room management system, boasting a great degree of functionality.

I actually have a very hazy memory of playing in a poker room about 5 years ago that had instituted buttons on the table for this very purpose (I believe they were wired into a central control panel). From memory, they were not in good repair and so the dealers ended up shouting most of the time anyway. I think maybe one of the AC rooms like Trop or Taj, anyone have an idea where this would have been?

The MGM has a button system to log in players at the table for comps, alert that they are down players, call for the floor etc.

But that room hasn't been there for 5 years.

I think you're exactly right! When I first moved to Austin around 6 1/2 years ago, most of my trips to Vegas I stayed in the MGM. I didn't play poker there a lot but did play a few times there before they closed the room (which is now apparently re-opened).

Thanks for the memory jog!

my local poker room, Oceans 11 has 4 buttons on each table. One calls for food, one for coctails, one for chips and one for open spot
