Virtual Blackjack Machines Making Big Hit
Blackjack used to be one of the most well known gambling games and one of the most popular. It is a simple game that is easy to learn and easy to play. While it focuses on the luck of the draw there is still some skill that is required – despite what most people think. To effectively play you need to know when to hold and when to pick another card. Unfortunately it seems that the game of blackjack is losing its appeal to most people. Manufacturers and casinos have been trying to find new ways of igniting the fire beneath people in order to bring them back to the blackjack table – but to no avail. That was until just now.
GTECH has created virtual blackjack tables that will entice and win over any player who is looking to have some fun and win it all. The fact that these new tables are virtual is enough to gain the interest of many people. After all when we see something that can talk and that knows what we want we can’t help – but be interested.
The first set of these virtual blackjack tables are being installed at the Lincoln gambling hall that is at the Twin River greyhound track. In order to make room for them they will be removing around 30 of the video slot machines that they find no more need for.
If everything goes according to plan around half a dozen of the new blackjack machines will be installed by next week. Five players can sit at each machine – which plays like a normal blackjack game. The dealer – a gorgeous blonde woman – is dealing and the player will signal what move they will make. The manufacturer – GTECH – has praised the new machines and has stated that it mixes together “the latest in interactive technology with the camaraderie of live table games. “Personable video dealers will entice even the most reticent players to try their luck at table games.”
Lottery officials are looking forward to the new machines and are hoping that they can increase the gambling revenue of Rhode Island by around $1 million annually if not more. It seems though that there could be a slight delay in plans. Speaker William Murphy has requested that the attorney general be called for his opinion on whether or not these virtual blackjack machines should be given a legislative stamp of approval before being installed. However, whether or not this is something that will be pursued is still under question.
Spokesman Jeff Neal has stated, “From the point of view of the Department of Revenue video-blackjack terminals are not substantially different, legally, from the other video-lottery terminals already installed at the two gambling facilities, Lincoln and Newport. While their outside appearance is different, their method of operation is the same. As a result, the Department of Revenue has allowed the company to proceed with its plans to install these new video lottery terminals.”
Yet, this isn’t going to stop GTECH from making this huge step and investment in these machines. “GTECH’s investing a lot of money to bring this machine in because they feel they are going to make a substantial amount of money over what the present terminal’s making so it’s in our best interest when they want to bring them to allow them,” stated Neal.
