Black Oak Casino installs PokerPro tables

MATTHEWS, North Carolina -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- PokerTek (NASDAQ: PTEK) announces the installation of four PokerPro® tables at the Black Oak Casino in Tuolumne, CA. This installation is the fifth 100% PokerPro poker room now open worldwide, and the first in a California tribal casino.

"Black Oak Casino is a great fit for PokerPro," said Lou White, Chief Executive Officer of PokerTek. "The commitment and enthusiasm shown by their staff during the entire process has been phenomenal and makes them an ideal partner for PokerTek."

"We are thrilled to offer live poker with PokerPro tables," said Mitch Goldstein, Gaming Director of Black Oak Casino. "PokerTek's knowledge and experience made it easy for us to open our new room, train our staff, and integrate poker into our overall product offering."

Black Oak Casino is a California Indian Gaming Casino, owned and operated by The Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians. Black Oak features over 1,000 slot machines, 24 live action table games, seven restaurants and bars, live entertainment, and a Family Floor featuring an arcade and a 24-lane Brunswick bowling center. Prior to installing PokerPro tables, Black Oak had not offered poker to its guests.

"Going 100% automated seemed like the right thing to do in today's world," said Goldstein. "Players enjoy the game, the economics are great for us and we're excited to offer the newest and best features to our customers."
