In August last year Excalibur Casino became the first casino in Las Vegas with a poker room working on electronic tables only. Now, Excalibur has decided to go back to live dealers and chips.

Today it was confirmed that the casino removed the 12 PokerPro tables and that the live room should be back in action early Friday.

Before, Excalibur's Vice President of Gaming Operations Todd DeRemer said that with the electronic tables they expected to interest a different kind of poker player. However, Lynn Holt, Marketing VP, said this did not work out as planned.

"Excalibur was happy to be the first Las Vegas Strip casino to offer poker players the opportunity to enjoy the PokerTek automated system," Holt said. ""While our experience was successful, we ultimately found that live poker games more accurately reflect the interactive poker experience customers have come to expect when they make their way to the excitement of the Las Vegas Strip."
