"We are excited to add electronic poker to Emotion Bingo," said Julian Lopez, Director of Operations for Pringsa and Cirsa in Mexico. "PokerPro allows us to offer the most popular poker games and limits on an electronic platform that emulates live poker. Poker players will find a variety of cash games and tournaments, and compete against other players as they would at a manual poker table."

"We are pleased to be selected as the preferred vendor of automated poker tables for Pringsa/Cirsa," said Mark Roberson, PokerTek's Acting CEO and CFO. "They are a great partner, and we look forward to working with them to make PokerPro a success."

Due to the success of PokerPro in Puerto Vallarta, PokerTek is already planning its second installation with Pringsa/Cirsa by adding two tables to the state-of-the-art CasinoLife Del Valle property in Mexico City.

The Emotion branded property in Puerto Vallarta also offers sports betting, bingo and video lottery terminals.
