TCSJOHNHUXLEY—AccuPLAY Blackjack
TCSJOHNHUXLEY’s AccuPLAY Blackjack is the first in a series of card games that maintains the trust players have in real cards, but removes the time-consuming element of chip handling for both the dealer and the players. With its mix of real card action and electronic speed, AccuPLAY will certainly appeal to both old and new generation players. Each player seating position is equipped with its own credit meter and touch screen player interface. Quick and simple to use, the system increases player decisions per hour, making your table games more engaging for customers. Due to automated bet and payout transactions, AccuPLAY increases turnover by approximately 70 percent. House cards are used in a standard shoe, but are drawn across a reader (as fast as you like) and are shown on screens in front of the players. These touch screens display credit which is bought from the dealer with cash or chips, and according to the rules, players choose options to take a card, split, double, buy-in, etc., by touching the screen. It is the system’s ability to run lots of different card games coupled with the potential to add side-bets, mystery jackpots, and progressives that makes the product so unique. For more information, visit www.tcsjohnhuxley.com.

Shuffle Master—Blackjack Press™
Shuffle Master is pleased to announce a new treat for Blackjack enthusiasts everywhere, the new Blackjack Press™. This new game offers an exciting twist on one of the most popular casino games—blackjack. Blackjack Press lets a player play two hands and “press” the one that they think can beat the dealer. To begin, players make equal wagers on both blackjack hands and the Press Bet. Players receive two cards on each hand face up. The dealer receives two cards, one face up and one face down. If the players’ initial four cards are all the same color, the Press Bet loses. Otherwise, players decide where to place their Press Bet—on their first blackjack hand or their second. The dealer then follows standard house rules for blackjack. If a player’s hand beats the dealer’s, his standard blackjack wager and Press Bet wagers win. Blackjack pays one to one. Blackjack Press is available for lease from Shuffle Master, Inc. Each game installation comes with a table layout, edge lit sign, free dealer training, and an initial supply of instruction cards. For more information on how Shuffle Master’s Blackjack Press can add value to your game floor, visit www.shufflemaster.com or call (702) 897-7150.
