Ultimate Dealer Button takes work out of poker games

By Sarah Polson

Simple poker timers are now a thing of the past as the Ultimate Dealer Button is hitting the market and taking all the work out of home poker games. The new button will be pre-programmable to set round times, small and big blinds and ante amounts of a tournament.

While many dealer buttons have come into the electronic age by incorporating timers, the Ultimate Dealer Button has the ability to completely manage a poker game.

It will display the current round and time along with the current amount of the small and big blinds and ante bets.

"We play poker tournaments like on TV, and we needed a way to help manage the game," said Ultimate Dealer Button co-inventor Grant Cooper.

Initially Cooper and his co-inventor created a simpler timer button, but they wanted more. Assuming that the consumers would also want something more, they worked to come out with this improved version.

"Therefore, we are proud to introduce the new pre-programmable Ultimate Dealer Button," Cooper said.
