Mohegan Sun Brings Automated Poker To Their East Coast Casino

The Mohegan Sun experimented with the plan of not having poker tables in their New England casino, but that plan backfired terribly, and now, four years after eliminating poker, it is back in an automated form.

The casino has brought PokerPro, an automated poker game where no dealers or chips are necessary, to their casino floor, and so far the results have been promising.

Mohegan Sun has put 12 tables of the new technology game in their casino while they wait for their live poker room to be completed, and that should be sometime next summer.

This is the first time that an East Coast casino has used PokerPro, as it already has the game in casinos in Michigan, Mississippi, Arkansas, California, and overseas, in Macau.

The casino has not ruled out keeping the virtual tables after the live game begins, but that will be dictated by business according to Mitch Etess, the Mohegan Sun President.

Asked if the game could stick around, he responded, "If it's still successful after the live poker opens. hey, our customers decide what works here, not us."

According to some of the players that have tried the game, it runs much quicker than live games, a point that players like, since they can see more hands in their time at the table.
