Darrell W., a loyal Fantasy Springs player and Palm Springs Snowbird, has been playing TableMAX's electronic version of the popular Caribbean Stud Poker since it's install on December 3.

"I've never played Caribbean Stud Poker live," Darrell stated, "but I saw the machines being installed and they piqued my interest. Once I started playing, I thought I had found a new game to play. But now, I know it's my favorite!"
"The TableMAX games have been experiencing a lot of interest and play from our regulars immediately upon install," said Fantasy Springs VP of Casino Ops Lou Crescenzo. "We're happy to see the progressive jackpot hit so quickly, as it's generated even more interest in the games."

The TableMAX platform offers the lowest table game minimum bet in the Coachella Valley, with bets starting at $1.
"We're very pleased to have a product which offers operators an enticing new game for their players, while providing them different ways to drive profitability in this challenging market through cost saving technology," Stephen Crystal, TableMAX CEO said.
