Central City electronic table games
While in Central City, we looked at the available electronic table games. There were three types of electronic gaming we found inside three casinos. Heads-up machines allow players an individual experience. The dice, cards, or spin only affect an individual’s outcome. Multiplayer machines have multiple player stations. The overall game speed for video gaming is affected by the other players on the machine. There is also one stadium setup in Central City.
