ATTHEWS, North Carolina -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- PokerTek, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTEK - ), the industry pioneer and worldwide leader in automated poker tables and related software, is pleased to announce the installation of five PokerPro tables at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Palm Springs, CA. This is the ninth 100% PokerPro poker room PokerTek has completed this year.

"PokerPro is a great addition to our casino," said Lou Crescenzo, VP of Operations for Fantasy Springs.

The response so far has been great, and we're just getting started."

"Fantasy Springs is an ideal venue for PokerPro, and they've been a good partner in all respects," said Chris Halligan, PokerTek CEO. "We seek properties that understand the player benefits and fundamental economics of automated poker, and Fantasy Springs fits that description."

Owned by the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, Fantasy Springs is the fourth California property to install PokerPro tables, and the first 100% PokerPro property in Southern California.
