Tables Turned
113 East’s GPS Table offer
Games change, player profiles develop, gaming floors reconfigure and casino design varies, but for more than 20 years, tables have stayed relatively the same.
The 113 East GPS Table series claims to change all that. The standard model, which was showcased at this year’s G2E Asia, has a similar footprint to existing tables and gives operators more flexibility with pit configurations because security cameras are built in. The table is a standalone unit built around the elements required in modern day tables and pits instead of cluttering the tabletop with add-ons.
Wayne Stevens, the table’s creator, says the design is fully customisable to operators’ requirements. Other benefits are improved security, potentially more games per hour, and better player comfort.
“I began by deciding where I wanted the cameras and the supervisor and designed a table around that,” Mr Stevens explains. All storage and electronics are contained in a cabinet at the foot of the table, making pits cleaner and giving operators more flexibility. “If you want to move the table six feet you can because the cameras move with it,” he explains.
With a background in surveillance, Mr Stevens knows first hand the shortfalls of standard casino equipment. He says the GPS Table once more makes the table supervisor a key element in the process. This element of experienced human oversight combined with technological improvements has the potential to improve table workflow and profitability on behalf of the operators, says Mr Stevens.
