I don't understand why people would want to play on these PokerPro tables.
It really takes too much away from the live poker experience when you have to look down at a computer screen and touch the screen to bet.

No thanks, I'd rather have a nice stack in front of me that I can fiddle with and confidently toss 5 chips into the pot when I want to bet.

Because playing poker with cards is illegal in NC.

What is odd to me is that this is supposed to happen just over a week from now and there is no mention of it on the Harrah's Cherokee website, the poker pro website, or any news article or press release about it that I can find. Odd that a casino would open up an entirely new poker room and try to keep it a secret...

On the other hand, if you're so enclined to read the tea leaves, the official poker pro representative on two plus two said back in November:

"There is a gaping hole in the U.S.for one that wants to play live poker in NC, SC, Northern Georgia, Eastern TN, etc. I can't discuss casinos we have not yet installed. Suffice to say I believe this hole will be filled very soon."

See post number 15 in this link.

I'll believe this when I see it.

When that county becomes un-dry, then it will be worth that long drive.

I think the casino is going for a "soft open." Clearly 5 tables won't come close to covering the demand if it is marketed all over the southeast. We have it from Pokertek and from Harrah's directly so I'm feeling pretty good about it...

Cause right now most of us in the South East have nothing at all to play. So for a place that is 2 hours away from Atlanta this is the best we can get with out having to go for a weekend.

You drive really fast.

Don't get my hopes up man....don't tease me....

Doesn't everyone in the south?

They need to do away with this ridiculous law as well.

Hope you're right. I live in SC; go to Atlantic City twice a year.

Of course we have home games, but this is great news to me.

Never played an electronic table, but ready to give it a try.

Gross.
Move away imo.

Yeah, I'm not sure I wanna drive 2 and 1/2 hours just so I can continue to play poker on a screen. I'd rather apply the 2 and 1/2 hours to get to Mississippi.

Anybody has real confirmation on whether these are going in? Anyone got a mailing, seen an ad, or talked to the casino?

Read the thread please.
