An electronic table or e-table combines the human involvement of a live dealer and live table game outcomes with an electronic betting terminal. Take a seat at an ETG terminal, and you can select the games you would like to play. With the user-friendly interface and easy betting options, anyone can play at their own pace. Today, e-tables are playing a much more prominent role in casinos.
Benefits of an e-table
An e-table can offer a wide variety of games such as blackjack, baccarat, and roulette. Players have a customized experience where they can navigate between games and play multiple games simultaneously. They use personal monitors to toggle between games like blackjack and craps. Experienced players enjoy the fast dealing and multi-game options on an ergonomic screen. These e-tables are bringing new, younger players to the casino floor. Young 20-somethings are driving growth.
The dealers at e-tables are like entertainers who engage with players. It’s like the live dealer games at online casinos where players interact with human dealers. They receive a live stream of the action on their digital screens.
Expanding the ETG sector
Interblock is a company that uses good business practices to expand the e-table sector. CEO John Connelly says the company’s Pulse Arenas are already on four continents. This system places ETGs in a club-style entertainment setting. Classic games get a new twist with an upbeat pace of play, flashing lights, and loud music that visually stimulates players. It combines the nightclub, the arcade, and gaming into one engaging environment.
The gaming menu has options such as stadiums, tournaments, and social chatter, which appeal to a younger mindset. High-profile visibility may include being selected to play a particular game in full view of the audience.
Connelly says that for the first time, casinos are removing live table game pits and moving to automated table game offerings. Electronic games can bring in more handles per hour and reduce operating costs. Pulse Arena has been a catalyst in getting CEOs and CFOs in the industry to calculate the numbers.

Operators have the flexibility to create custom layouts. They can have stadium-style layouts with a live dealer or decide on back-to-back configurations that include ergonomically designed screens. These screens may display a live feed of a roulette wheel and some live game statistics. Real-time reporting allows operators to evaluate terminals at any time and take action if necessary.
ETG Terminals
International Game Technology (IGT) has a Dynasty Table Games offer. The company has installed its Dynasty ETG terminals featuring live roulette and live baccarat games at various casinos. These terminals give casual and experienced players a user-friendly way to play their favorite table games. If you believe in your luck and use the right strategies, table games can be rewarding to play.
IGT’s live dealer solution allows players to sit at one of the terminals and connect to live table games taking place all over the casino floor. Casinos can benefit as they don’t have the costs of physical tables, chips, and table security. Live dealers aren’t needed to run all table games.
