PokerTek Table on Norwegian Cruise LinesPokerTek is expanding it offerings to those who love to sail the high seas as it starts a 90-day field trial on Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Pearl. If the trial is successful, tables will be added to all 11 of Norwegian Cruise Line’s ships.

PokerTek already placed its automated dealerless PokerPro tables on all 22 of Carnival Cruise Line’s boats.

“We are eager to see how successful PokerPro is on one of our newest ships, Norwegian Pearl," said Jim Abbas, vice president of casino operations for Norwegian Cruise Line. “The ship offers tremendous choices already, from bowling to rock climbing, and automated poker is one more exciting entertainment option. PokerPro was recently installed within our casino, which offers an array of traditional table games, along with a wide variety of slots not offered by any of our competitors.”

PokerTek Vice President of Sales Robert Perry says its product and cruise ships are a perfect match.

“Our previous installations on cruise ships have proven to be profitable for our customers and well-received by their vacationers onboard,” he said. “We're hopeful that Norwegian Cruise Line will see the same results. PokerPro allows cruise ships to offer an extra amenity to their guests in a cost-effective manner.”

The company has been placing its machines in casinos all over the world, and most recently installed tables in Louisiana and San Diego.
