NEW ROULETTE TABLES BRING TRUE TABLE GAME FEEL TO INDIANA LIVE CASINO
SHELBYVILLE, Ind. (Thursday, Dec. 4, 2008) – The Vegas-style feeling of Indiana Live Casino grew stronger this week as two new, state-of-the-art electronic roulette tables debuted for play.
Two Aristocrat Megastar electronic roulette tables have been packed with players since their installation at Indiana Live Casino, one located just inside the main entrance and the other closer to the casino’s Center Bar.
“The electronic game offers the same player options as live roulette. However, players don’t have to manage chips,” said Paul Cornish, vice president of slot operations at Indiana Live Casino. “Players are seated around the wheel and are invited to place their bets by a warm, inviting voice rather than a live attendant. It’s a very player-friendly table game. Electronic roulette has a true table game feel.”
Each roulette table has room for eight players who can place bets from $2 to $25 to a maximum of $3,000 per spin. Each table has its own bill validator and credits appear on a touch screen in front of players. Players push an icon that looks like a chip then touch a number on the electronic roulette wheel to place their bet.
“There’s a social element involved at these tables as well,” Cornish said. “The roulette wheel is centered among the group of players, allowing them to all share in the fun, and there’s no reaching across others to place a bet, which can be less intimidating for players.”
Cornish said Indiana Live Casino may offer even more electronic roulette tables inside its permanent facility once it opens in early 2009.
Adjacent and connected to Indiana Downs, the permanent Indiana Live Casino will span 233,000 square feet, have more than 1,900 high-tech slot machines and electronic table games and feature nationally renowned cuisine from Maker’s Mark Steakhouse, NASCAR Sports Grille and Live Market and live entertainment at two nightlife destinations.
Indiana Live Casino is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week year round. For more, visit www.indianalivecasino.com.
