I'm getting ready to go to Vegas next month for some tournaments and 1/2NL, and was wondering if iPads are allowed at the tables. I like to listen to music/surf/read ebooks while I'm not in hands/on breaks

depends on the casino, but most places will allow them as long as it doesn't disrupt play

Just don't be a dweeb and hold the game up using your iPad. I think they should not be allowed as they take up too much room at an already crowded table.

I agree... Mind the space you take up at the table and don't slow down the game and your will be fine.

As said, no set answer. It's going to depend on poker room AND may vary between cash games and tournaments.

Personally, I'd ban them.

We allow most electronic devices as long as you do not disrupt play. We also offer free WIFI to all players

There's clearly potential here for a new game variant that would be very popular. I'm of course referring to HOAB which is a mix of Hold em', Omaha and Angry Birds.

So i guess i could be playing a table at bodog until the new year while sitting and playing a cash game in vegas. Still seems Ipads at the table could cause problems at times.
