IGT to promote Heads Up video poker slot machine at WSOP

Slot machine giant International Game Technology is targeting the thousands of poker fans who will be at the Rio Sunday as it unveils a new video poker game.

IGT describes Texas Hold’em Heads Up Poker as the first video poker game to use a neural net, a technology-developed mathematical model that simulates the operation of the human brain.

In other words, gamblers playing heads up no limit hold’em poker will be able to use the game’s strategy, such as bluffing, against the machine.

Poker fans attending the final table of the World Series of Poker’s Main Event will be invited to try out the slot machines, which will be located near Buzio’s restaurant on the Rio’s casino floor.
