PokerTek Expands Agreement with Carnival Cruises
Charlotte Business Journal - 2:46 PM EST Friday, February 16, 2007
PokerTek Inc. has completed a trial of its PokerPro tables on Carnival Corp. & plc's Princess Cruises, and the cruise line will expand its use of the electronic poker tables.
With PokerPro tables already installed on three of its ships, Princess Cruises will have 22 tables installed by the end of the year.
"We continue to be impressed with how quickly the Princess guests learn to play PokerPro and how reliable the product has proven itself," says Rodney Dofort, vice president of casino operations.
Financial terms of the agreement weren't disclosed.
Matthews NC-based PokerTek (NASDAQ:PTEK) is a software-development company that markets tables at which up to 10 people can play Texas Hold 'Em.
The company's PokerPro electronic system deals cards, displays them on private screens to the players and displays general information on a large screen in the center of the table. It also enables customers to set up accounts for betting and keeps statistical information on the games.
The system is designed to increase casino revenue by increasing hands per hour and reducing labor costs within poker rooms.
Carnival, based in Florida and the United Kingdom, is a global cruise company.
