Table games have been slow to catch up to the technological revolution happening on the slot machine side of gaming, but that’s changing.
On Tuesday, table game manufacturers at the annual Global Gaming Expo, or G2E, showed off some of their latest products striving to narrow that gap while fostering a lively, social gaming experience.
“Slots have advanced significantly because they themselves are centric in technology,” said Brendan Bussmann, partner at Global Market Advisors consulting firm. “Table play still is about interaction that technology can’t replace.”
Gaming manufacturers such as Interblock Gaming are working to advance the table game experience. The pit “hasn’t really done much to evolve” compared with slot machines, and that’s where Interblock has found space to innovate, marketing director Bethany Kozal said Tuesday at The Venetian Expo.
