This is a bad omen for folks like me who simply enjoy table games for the socialization, slower (usually) play, like to 'think' strategy rather than push a button for hours. JMHO.

Machts nichts, as the Germans would say. Some people actually prefer the electronic games. If they award players' club points, it might even be a better play than a live game--I mean yes, you can hand the dealer your players' card, but you won't get the benefit of any promos, like a 10x senior day.
I suspect that limited floor space has a lot to do with their decision. That, and they can reduce staffing. Maybe Derek will let the dealers move next door.

My wife will be disappointed. She liked the chill atmosphere at the GG BJ tables. Too bad.
So I guess you can say goodbye to the matchplays there
Those tables have been dead for awhile. If they would lower the limits they would be packed like they used to be, but that hurts the 15 to 25 dollar tables at the Circa. Too bad
If GG makes the transitiion to electronic games, I hope thay keep them 3:2 for BJ.
Bad news for traditional players but likely a good and expected move for GG's future profit margins. The tech transitions continue..sadly for some of us. One of these days we can all just stay at home and go to Vegas on our smartphones..just do the entire visit via our Tap Traps ( or so says an old fogey I know).

They better make vast improvements to the player interface on the electronic table games if that is the future.
The craps games dont give you enough time to place your bets and the touch screen doesnt work well. I frequently have to swipe my finger 2-3 times before it does what I want it to do.

You cite just a few reasons why the tech games suck for older Vegasphiles; I'd also mention the old social vibe / environment surrounding a traditional BJ table as a missed gem too.
