That human element has always been part of the excitement but there is something looming near. The artificial intelligence is coming on to the casino floor, not just behind the scenes but right into the dealer’s chair. Powered by artificial intelligence you are starting to see AI “croupiers” and even completely automated poker tables. Today’s AI dealers can shuffle, deal, and communicate in ways that look and feel unreasonably real. Some casinos are already equipped with AI systems that manage chips and cards, so games can continue without error or even fatigue.
