My concern is with electromechanical devices. By imposing a flat restriction on the use of technology in poker operations, VDACS causes harm to dealers, players, and charities. In contemporary times, technology is key to improving various aspects of life. Leveraging technology software and hardware for game management results in increased efficiency, pleasure, and accuracy. The use of technology is significantly more advantageous in safeguarding the game's integrity than manually tracking information and being susceptible to human error. The recommended 11VAC20-20-90.O needs to be revoked.
