The Native American-themed Harrah's in Cherokee differs significantly
from Harrah's other branches across the country in that all games are
computer-operated as an effect of the restriction on the types of
gambling in North Carolina. Persons above the age of 21 can play.
Card games like blackjack and baccarat are played with cards displayed
in computer monitors built in the table surface. Probably, the video
poker is the only game that doesn't differ from other casinos. They also
introduced the Total Rewards slot which phased out the traditional
lock-and-roll machines. This mechanism also helped in creating a profile
of the individual player which could be able to track down his or her
gambling habits.
