It is the end of an era, as the oldest casino property in downtown Las Vegas is eliminating traditional table games in favor of a new gambling experience.
Golden Gate will no longer offer live dealer table games, according to owner Derek Stevens. The 119-year-old property will phase out live dealer tables over the next several weeks, replacing them with “high-energy” slot and electronic table-game machines, Stevens said.
By mid-September, most, if not all, of the live table games will be gone.
The decision to remove live dealer tables at Golden Gate was made based on the financial success of a similar move at Circa, another downtown casino owned by Stevens.
