being both an electronics engineer and a mad poker player, this has to be about the best thing that anyone has ever created!!!

rfid tags to track the cards is a brilliant way of doing it - minor downside is the extra card thickness

i would LOVE to do this to my table some day, or copy his design

I've seen Andy Bloch blog before on having RFID in chips, but the cards idea is fantastic.

apparently this guy has them in his chips as well, but he doesn't say how he uses them.

maybe he is adding betting into his software as well

Looks awesome.

benny the cunt, your an electrical engineer, so i expect big improvements for the next installment of benny the cunt's home game.

How much do you reckon it cost him to do?

to be honest, im not sure. all of the rfid stuff is commercially available.

the software would have been the hard bit i reckon

makes me wanna try something like that though
