Video Poker 247 - Prince Edward Island’s Video Poker Testing

The Atlantic Lottery Corporation has decided to test their video poker tables on Prince Edward Island. The company thinks that PEI would be the perfect place to test the popularity of the new multi-player games, to see if they should move forward on an expansion.

The video poker games have already been installed in Quebec casinos in January, and those that have tried them seem to like them. They are just like regular poker games, only there isn’t a dealer, and the cards and chips are virtual.

You simply look at the screen to make your choices and to see your cards. The pot and the shared cards are on there as well. The video poker machines are equipped with touch screens which makes it much simpler for their players.

This also enables them to interact with each other as they are playing the video poker games, if they choose to do so. The corporation has decided that they are going to put two of the video poker tables in different bars on the island to see how they are received. They have put out a request to see if anyone is interested in hosting the video poker games, and once they have their replies they will decide where to put it.

They will be checking to see if people like the video poker tables, how popular they are, how easy they are to use, and how easily one can become addicted to them.
