Whoever is still looking after an unusual gift for Christmas, we have a great idea from Australia. A gift that offers new perpectives to your home poker rounds.

The Australian Andrew Milner has built a poker table, equipped with RFID chips in each game card and HD cameras that follow every movement. So you can even find out where a particular card is located in the deck.
Wafer-thin RFID cards are available on each game card and movements are followed by 4 separate HD cameras and then fed into a video encoder, creating a live feed. A special software combines video feeds with data from the RFID chip cards. So that the viewer can see exactly where and what card is precisely, and which move each player is doing. The RFID chip cards are so thin that a complete deck is stacked properly.

The whole set-up cost Milner  about $7.000 and 3 months of work, but it is very impressive for what it is. For those of you who do not like to wait any longer on the HighStakes poker videos,  we recommed this as a nice Christmas gift for your poker peers.

Time will tell whether the technology also receives admission into Vegas card rooms. Card tricks would be severely restricted and in any case traceable.
