- All games are available as both commission and commission-free and with the option of adding single or multi-denom progressives.
- The Lunar Table Display transforms the typical trend board offering support for most industry intelligent shoes and displaying comprehensive game results. The user-friendly dealer interface makes the dealer’s job streamlined, allowing more hands to be dealt.
Launching Innovative High Action Table Games
Galaxy Gaming is also thrilled to announce a suite of exciting high-action games joining the Prime Membership Portfolio: Split to Double Blackjack, Super Omaha Poker, Three Card Pick’em, and High Roller Hold’em.
- All five of these games are designed for high action while maximizing the player’s time on the table.
