A new business deal will see the Commerce Casino taking on automated poker tables from Lightning Poker Inc.

Lightning Poker announced the deal Friday that would place multiple dealerless, fully-automated poker tables in the Commerce Casino's poker room.

"Lightning Poker is thrilled to install our tables at the preeminent poker destination in the world, Commerce Casino," said Brian Haveson, Lightning Poker CEO.

"We are confident that Commerce and Lightning Poker will provide Commerce's customers a truly enjoyable poker experience."

Haveson said the Commerce, which is the largest poker casino in the world and hosts some of the largest poker tournaments, is as knowledgeable and supportive as any casino in the world when it comes to poker and servicing poker players.

"We are excited to offer this innovative electronic poker table product to our poker customers," said Tim Gustin, Commerce Casino casino manager.

"Lightning Poker's faster and amazingly intuitive game play will offer Commerce customers a new poker option we believe will be very popular in our casino."
