All,

  Well, maybe not right away, but it's coming, bet on it.

  Stadium type table games are basically a live dealer and a "stadium" of live betting terminals.

  Think of it as a lot like those 8 station roulette machines you may see, but with "extra" seats.

  How many?   Well, there are currently 4000 or so stadium seats available in Macau and they are forecasting upwards of 6000 available player stations in the next 5 years.

  Why "stadium" type of roulette, baccarat, sic-bo?   Look to the MONEY, of course!   At a normal 7 station baccarat table, you get 7 players against one shoe.  At a stadium type of live baccarat tabel, you can have 50 players all on the same live shoe!   It's a no brainer for the casino.

  All that and the dealer's no longer have to handle any of the money as it's all done right at your personal terminal.

  So, if you've been wondering what the direction of table games are, simply look to Macau and it should be obvious.

I personally will have no problems with it as long as the GAME is still hand dealt.

The individual terminals just makes it that much easier for me to play and keep track of what I need to do without the distractions of being crowded out or smoked out.

If the shoe is not continuous this kind of baccarat would be very ideal. Unlimited free hands. They have something like this at Resorts NYC but no live dealer. Organic Baccarat has a real deck but mechanical dealer.

This can be found at the Venetian/Palazzo in Vegas. It was at the Palazzo from what I remember. Didn't play though just observed. I was there last week and found this exclusively at Sheldon Adelson's casino. Table minimum is $5. There are two shoes being played at the same moment. No digital RNG. Uses an actual eight deck of cards. When the hand wins the dealer announces the winner. There is a supervisor on board to make sure things go smoothly.

I've played 200-300 hours on palazzo's stadium baccarat and even though they were still working the buggs out I enjoyed it.The speed of hands changes some with the talking of dealers to pit people. two games are played and delt by one dealer-I liked it most when the shoes were out of sink one starting and the other 25 -35 hands delt.Also there is a SINGLE 0 roulette wheel 5$ min.
