Online gaming technology is the hot topic at this year's G2E. Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey have led the way with recently approved legislation to allow online wagering, with online poker in particular being viewed as a very large business opportunity. KSNV, the NBC television affiliate in Las Vegas, devoted a segment to online poker in its evening news broadcast yesterday, with REAL DEAL POKER™ prominently featured, including a short interview with Gene Gioia, the inventor of REAL DEAL.

MGT Interactive's technology uses patented shuffling machines, along with permutation re-sequencing, allowing for the creation of up to 16,000 decks per minute in real time.  Each newly created deck is then "dealt" for a hand of online poker, complete with burn cards and the option for a player to "cut" the deck.  In addition to providing a higher level of realism, each deck provides an authentic randomized deal and full audit trail (using barcode scanning and imaging); both missing from currently used random number generating algorithms.  

"We are very confident about the profit opportunities we see in the real money online wagering market," said Robert Ladd, MGT's Chief Executive Officer.  "With our expanding patent portfolio and innovative online games, we believe we are strategically positioned to benefit from the increased legalization of online casino gaming."
