Must gambool faster, faster, faster.....
For the venue/casino/card room it is a win/win. Speeds up play/ends tournaments faster, less training for sub-par dealers who can't keep up with collecting antes, don't have to worry about players who can't be bothered with learning game mechanics (how to post & ante). In the tech world we call it programming for stupid. From the venue/casino/card room's perspective it's a winner.
But even if player are adapting and like/love it, trust me it wasn't created to benefit the players. It was initially dreamed up as a benefit to the venue/casino/card room.
I really think it's a moot point at this stage, it's here to stay at the casinos/card rooms. And if a home game I play in uses it I will adapt (even though I'm over 65)
