Borgata's - Electronic Seating Board, e-babes, 4. Aug 2003 07:43

All:

Hit the Borgata poker room for the first time in AC. Very impressive. Poker room Color scheme is similar to the Mirage....The chairs were like office furniture.

What caught my attention for the electronic board used for booking people at tables. They had two huge plasma screens where anticipating players could look to check their status.

There were a lot of nifty functions built in and it seemed like a great way to get people seated quickly and efficiently...etc etc.....Very impressive. More card rooms should consider this. Time to get rid of the Blackboard and Markers.

Oh, I like that idea a lot. The one thing I dislike about the Mirage is that you can rarely hear your name called unless you are within 20 feet of the poker room. Needless to say, this can get really tedious if you have to wait upwards of an hour for a table, not to mention not terribly profitable for the casino, given the fact that you might be playing a few hands of blackjack, etc, if you didn't have to stick around. At Harrah's East Chicago they will announce your seat throughout the boat, which is nice.
