PokerTek Inc., a company which develops and markets electronic table games for the gaming industry, announced on Thursday, May 10 that it has reached an agreement with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. to install electronic poker tables at

Georgian Downs, Mohawk Racetrack, Rideau Carleton Raceway and Sudbury Downs.

According to a PokerTek release, a total of 12 'PokerPro' tables will be introduced, three each for Georgian, Mohawk, Rideau and Sudbury.

Two machines were used as part of a pilot program this past fall at the Western Fair District in London, Ont. The machines remained on the WFD gaming floor after the program, at which time another machine was added to the fray due to customer demand.

"We are pleased that the success of PokerPro at OLG Slots at Western Fair District has prompted additional placements throughout Ontario," PokerTek President James Crawford said via release. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with OLG as we roll-out PokerPro to the additional properties."
