MOTO Development Group unveiled a video of the world’s first round multi-touch casino gaming table experience for the Global Gaming Expo 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Large-scale, resistive-touch system enables multiple users to conduct simultaneous touch-based interactions in a unified content environment. Table gaming is an ideal application for multi-touch screen technology. Replacing physical tokens, chips, cards, or game pieces with virtual items eliminates tedious setup, distribution, and cleanup tasks while increasing the efficiency and accuracy of the game. A dealer will be able to shuffle virtual cards on the surface, and players will be able to cover their cards, and only show a partial face of their card by lifting their palms slightly off the table (as pictured).
There is no indication of when gamblers can expect to see MOTO’s surface gaming in casinos, but the company says it needs to resolve security and human learning curve issues before this happens.
