Vegas Casino Going Auto on Poker Room
Soon the Excalibur, the medieval themed casino on the Las Vegas strip, will take a step into the future by replacing all the human dealers in their poker room with computers. The poker room, closed as of Monday the 18th, will reopen on August 22nd with a dozen PokerPro tables in place. The tables, made by PokerTek, handle the dealing, shuffling, chip collecting and dispensing of cash duties, leaving the players at their touch screens only needing to worry about their poker game…

Poker lingo:
- WIRED [PAIR] - A pair in the hole. In 5-card stud, a door card that pairs the hole card.
- LOOSE - Playing more hands than the norm. Antonym: TIGHT.
- GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
- FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
- OVERPAIR - In Hold'em, a pair in the hole that is larger than any community card on the board.
- FREE CARD - A card dealt after all players checked in a betting round.
