22 October 2008

MATTHEWS, North Carolina -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- PokerTek, the industry pioneer and worldwide leader in automated poker tables and related software, announced today they have received seven certified Australian innovation patents. This announcement represents a key milestone for PokerTek as the company's innovative gaming products continue to gain market acceptance worldwide.

The patents cover a wide variety of table and gameplay features including use of a center console, methods for obscuring playing cards, electronic card tournaments and various game administrator tools and were awarded to PokerTek in late summer 2008.

"These patents reinforce PokerTek's position as a leading innovator," said Chris Halligan, PokerTek CEO. "We were first to market with automated poker and have a leadership position today, thanks in part to our fully featured, highly innovative products."

PokerTek has over 237 PokerPro tables installed around the world, in prestigious locations such as Atlantic City's Trump Plaza, Las Vegas' Excalibur Hotel and Casino, Chicagoland's Horseshoe Hammond and Melbourne's Crown Casino, as well as on over 60 cruise ships worldwide, including 100% of Carnival's fleet of Funships.
