Aristocrat Technologies Europe has announced that the patent-protected PokerPro electronic poker table, manufactured by PokerTek, has received approval from the Gambling Commission to be placed into the UK.
Following a successful field trial, Aristocrat will look to rollout the PokerPro tables throughout the UK. "We are extremely excited to be offering this innovative technology to the UK gaming market," said Julian Stanford, managing director of Aristocrat Technologies Europe.
"The approval and rollout of the PokerPro table in the UK falls in line with Aristocrat’s new multi-station game strategy, which follows the distribution agreement with PokerTek and the 50 per cent acquisition of Elektroncek."
Aristocrat is the exclusive distributor of PokerTek’s PokerPro tables outside North America and owns an equity share of the US-based company.
To expedite the global deployment of PokerPro tables, Aristocrat and PokerTek will continue to work closely with regulators and product testing laboratories around the world to ensure that PokerPro complies with local regulations.
