PokerTek Inc., a licensed gaming software developer, will present its new blackjack variant Blackjack Pro at Global Gaming Expo (G2E), which is scheduled to be held next week at Las Vegas Convention Centre. The demonstration can be viewed in booth number 1210 on Nov 16 – 18
PokerTeck President James Crawford said that Blackjack Pro is the traditional variant of blackjack on PokerTek’s new automated gaming platform and that the company is eager to exhibit its new product to prospective and existing customers at G2E.
Though based on the rules of standard blackjack, operators can customize Blackjack Pro to suit their requirements. The large screen at the center allows players to follow the gaming action with ease and even interact with other players. The cost-effective product with its intuitive graphics is ideal for operators who want to introduce automated blackjack into their portfolio of games.
Besides demonstrating Blackjack Pro, PowerTek will also exhibit PokerPro, especially emphasizing its attractive new Tournament Plus software, a comprehensive multi-table tournament solution, which streamlines the entire gaming process from registering an account to reaching the final table. The product also includes a leader board, which presents the latest information regarding chip stacks, player ranks, and tournament status.

Find what changed in the game
New blackjack products often change a particular part of the familiar game: an extra wager, a different decision, more hands or a new interface. The announcement is useful for identifying that change. It is not a substitute for a complete rules sheet, nor proof that a named product remains available.
- Main game
- Identify the basic format and who or what the player faces.
- Extra feature
- Separate optional bets and paid choices from the ordinary wager.
- Missing detail
- Do not infer an unreported payout, rule or current availability.
Does a new feature automatically make the main game better value?
No. A feature describes a change, not its mathematical value. Start with the full rules and any separate wager or fee; the linked rules and odds guides explain what to compare.
