Michigan casino goes virtual The Indian casino now have a virtual section, where gamblers can play roulette and other table games, including poker. The table is electronic with a five seats and a hi-def monitor which displays the virtual dealer.

According to the Soaring Eagle Casino's marketing manager Bill Masterson, the purpose of this new addition to the casino is to bridge the gap between the video games and the casino gambling. Masterson also states that gamblers, who would usually be intimidated by a live dealer, can play much more comfortably.

The virtual gambling table would also display all the rules of your current casino game with just a push of a button, and the virtual dealer is always ready to answer questions. Which is another great way to attract gamblers who usually avoid the live table games, because they don't know much about that particular casino game, and feel shy and nervous playing among real people.

Although the equipment is still in a testing phase while small problems are being worked out, the virtual casino floor has proven to attract the younger audience of the casino.
