PokerTek, Inc. is pleased to announce the installation of three additional PokerPro tables at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino & Hotel in Cherokee, North Carolina. This brings the total number of PokerPro tables to 10, and is the third time that Harrah’s Cherokee has ordered tables from PokerTek. The tables have all been moved into a new, state-of-the-art poker room.
“Our new poker room was designed with players in mind,” said Ron Hager, Director of Table Games for Harrah’s Cherokee. “With these additional tables, we are now able to offer an exciting tournament schedule and a larger variety of cash game options, while reducing the wait times for our players.”
“We’re excited to add tables to Harrah’s Cherokee’s new poker room,” said Mark Roberson, PokerTek’s CEO. “The players in this region have shown they love playing PokerPro, and this new poker room rewards them with a premier setting. PokerTek is proud to be a part of the great things happening at Harrah’s Cherokee.”
Harrah’s Cherokee provides the only live poker within 350 miles of Cherokee, NC, a radius that encompasses Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, GA, Knoxville and Chattanooga, TN. The room offers a variety of cash games, including $1/2 No-Limit, $2/5 No-Limit and $3/6 Limit, and a variety of tournaments.
PokerPro tables are cutting-edge electronic gaming devices that play live poker and allow players to play against one another. Players can privately view their hole cards and place bets using their individual screens. The community cards, pot and player table stakes are all displayed on a large center monitor for all players to see.
