RFIDPoker from GPI has received approval from the French Interior and Finance Ministries.

It was exhibited for the first time at the G2E show in Las Vegas last November and received huge interest from European casino operators during ICE in January 2008.

In France, the Joa Casino La Siesta in Antibes and Cercle Clichy Montmartre in Paris were the first to test this system that generates 30 per cent more hands per hour.
