With Daniel Craig’s suave and cool winning attitude at the poker table in Casino Royale, many of us have been inspired to get our poker skills also polished. So bring home the Heads-Up Challenge home edition that enables two players to compete against each other in a game of Texas Hold’em poker for entertainment purposes. Although it was originally designed to find a place in bars, restaurants and lounges, for just $5,999, some rich dude would love to accommodate this electronic poker table in his own dwelling. Call all your wealthy buddies over the weekend to indulge in the world’s greatest card game right in your home! Featuring a touchscreen so neat, it lets you peel up the cards easily. The table also shuffles cards, deals, displays showdown hand percentages and it awards pots.
You can also view your hole cards any time, with just the touch of a button. The familiar trackball allows you to easily stage a bet or go All-In with a flick of your wrist. While the latest in cutting-edge graphics give you realistic poker action, with prompts to Call, Raise, Check or Fold. Only if you have been playing poker then all this will make sense to you. Each player starts with 10,000 chips and blinds increase every few hands. At the end of each hand, players can show their cards or muck their hand.
The best part is that no assembly is required. It’s as simple as any plug an play game.

I would call it the heights of redundancy. Poker can be played even without a machine and that’s how it was in the past. And it’s surprising that gadget-makers have a huge buy-in from sensible shoppers of the 21st century. Guess, the affluent have a new way to flaunt their wealth.
Seamlessly written, the article may actually tempt people into buying the ’Heads-Up Challenge’.
I guess it’s just one of those things recovering gamblers can secretly hide in their basements and fulfill their addiction without looking like a total, hopeless loser in front of the kids!!
