The Story Behind Smart Table Revolution
How three decades on the casino floor led to a book about the future no one is prepared for.
Why This Book Matters Now
Casinos are facing the most dramatic shift in table-game history. New technologies — AI, RFID, smart shoes, analytics, dealer-assist systems — are changing the floor every month.
But very few people inside the industry understand what’s coming next, and even fewer are talking about it honestly.
Smart Table Revolution was written to bridge that gap.
It explains the future from the perspective of someone who has lived every role in the pit and watched the technology evolve from day one.
About the Author
Kevin Lentz has spent more than 30 years working inside casinos — from dealer to floor supervisor to table-games manager. During that time, he navigated labor changes, the shift to ETGs, the introduction of RFID, and the growing influence of analytics and AI.
He’s also written for major industry outlets such as Casino.org and CardPlayer.com, giving him a rare balance of real-floor experience and clear, strategic communication.
