Wireless Texas Hold'em Poker Coming to Casinos
Harrah's Brand Moves With the Future
Progressive Gaming International Corporation (PGIC) is set to help casinos make more money than ever before with the introduction of a new way to play Texas hold’em poker. Using the World Series of Poker “Peer to Peer” Texas hold’em game, players will be able to play poker on wired or wireless devices away from the traditional poker table.
Players will play poker on a secure intranet server managed from within casinos that have the legal jurisdiction to offer this type of service. This unique service will allow players to play poker in restaurants, clubs, and possibly even their rooms. This futuristic solution not only benefits players by giving them greater access to the tables, but also helps casinos make use of unused gaming space.
According to Harrah’s senior vice president of gaming Ken Weil, this product is a perfect fit for casinos around the globe.

I imagine a wireless form of poker that can be played over the internet. Through laptops, personal PC's, desktops, etc etc... In the comfort of their own home, even! You won't have to play at the casinos to play poker.. You can jump in a game, play, leave any time you want... It'll be as convenient as can be, and will pave the way for the future!
Oh, wait..
