PokerTek announced in a press release the launch of the first two-seated heads-up style electronic poker table, the PokerPro Heads-Up. “Poker players love to play heads-up poker and casino operators are constantly looking for new ways to meet their customers' needs,” James Crawford, President of PokerTek, said.

Crawford added that in the past, it was hard to find a casino that would deal a heads-up game for regulars. “Now, PokerPro Heads-Up offers casinos a profitable way to spread heads-up poker,” he explained.

Hashem Minaiy, CEO of The Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, said about the PokerPro Head-Ups table: “We believe there is strong player demand for heads-up poker in our casino. Unfortunately, this form of poker is too costly to be hand-dealt. With the advent of PokerPro Heads-Up, we can now offer this great game to our players.”

The new poker tables by PokerTek need only 20% of the space required for a traditional table.
