Recently in Las Vegas, the Gaming Technology Summit was held, bringing together leaders of the online casino industry. Poker Tek, the online casino gaming company was awarded one of the most prestigious awards of the conference by taking the Platinum Award for the Most Innovative Technology Product for 2005.
Casino Journal handed out awards to different online casino companies based on their products and their usage in today's casino world. The Platinum Award, in particular, recognizes the most innovative and creative technology products and services in the online gaming industry. Hundreds of new products that were released in 2005 were eligible for this award and were voted on by a panel of industry experts. The top honors were chosen based on the product's role in a casino, the casino's benefit of the investment, and the new software and technology advancement it brought to the online casinos industry.
'For the Poker Pro tables to win first place as the most innovative technology product of 2005 is a great honor for our company,' said James Crawford, President of Poker Tek. 'This award was selected by both operators and our peers in the gaming industry and further validates the innovation and hard work that we have put into making PokerPro the most profitable poker table in the industry.' Poker Tek won the Platinum Award by creating the Poker Pro poker tables, a revolutionary table that integrates both live action and computerization into the live poker world. The tables themselves have been slowly integrated into the casino world with their introduction in the card rooms of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casinos in Tampa and Hollywood, FL, and have also been installed at the Winstar Casino in Oklahoma.
