Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 2270174, member: 23910"] Yeah, those tables in live venues are reasonably common - cruise ships and low-volume rooms in particular are fans of them I believe because they can maximise hands per hour (delay-free dealing, no delays having to call the floor for dealer errors etc) and cut costs, [b]but[/b] they don't tend to be very popular in my experience because when people go to a casino to play poker, they tend to expect a live dealer as part of the experience. My local card room used to have a heap of them, but now they've all but phased them out because they sat there empty most of the time. As for having a live dealer online, I don't know of anywhere. There was a site whose name escapes me who claimed to use real cards and shuffle machines, but it turned out they didn't actually deal every hand with them, they just used a few of them to generate input for their RNG or something.
