The screen you sit in front of is a touch screen based system.
Just like when physical cards are dealt to you face down, the cards dealt to you on the screen are face down. You would have to cup your hand around your hole cards, touch the screen to reveal what your hole cards are. Then when the hole cards are face down again, you can uncover the screen.

You can go here and see a picture of what the table looks like:

From the picture, it seems like someone could probably see your screen, but perhaps Vegas Cat can explain. My guess is that the screen is sunk in alittle.

I've played online poker and I've played live poker but I have never played E-poker.
This is an in between poker that is trying to capture the best of online poker and live poker.
So at an online poker site, you pretty much are alone in front of a computer terminal playing against faceless players who are limited to what some may type in chat in a text window....
Play is fast and it is often difficult to read the other players because you can only go by the way they bet in the long run.
Live poker is alot slower but lots of players like it anyway because of the social aspect. They find it too boring to sit in front of a computer terminal.
I like playing both. Sometimes when I'm in the mood to just see card after card and not wait for people or feel like talking, I'll play online poker. But sometimes you feel like sharing with players who love the game like you do and you want to sit down and be with poker player's alike.
E-poker is played at a casino... | | Read Entire Entry |
