DB Dealer Combines Dealer Button and Blind Timer for Great Gift Under $20
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The kitchen, clock and cell phone
alarm ringing is finally silenced, as two entrepreneurs from Oregon introduce
the DB Dealer(TM), a device that combines two essential elements of poker
tournament play: the dealer button and the blind timer.
For years, casino, club, and home-based tournament players have used
various methods to mark the time between required minimum bet increases
(called blinds). These have ranged from the obvious (kitchen, stovetop and
microwave timers) to the absurd (old-fashioned buzzer clocks and cell phone
alarms).
The DB Dealer is a round, high-quality plastic device that is the size of
a standard casino dealer button (a little larger than a poker chip). It
includes the ability to serve as a dealer button (the chip/button that moves
from player to player to indicate which person will enjoy the most
advantageous betting position) along with the functionality of a blind timer
through a built-in LED timer.
"It made perfect sense to combine these two key poker tournament functions
into a single piece that could be circulated on the tabletop, from player to
player," said Jeff Klein, DB Dealer inventor. "The DB Dealer can be set in
five-minute increments up to 95 minutes, so no one will ever need to scramble
to set and then reset any other alert system."
Using the DB Dealer in a tournament setting, players hear an audible alarm
at the one-minute blind increase warning, and again to signify the end of the
round. At the end of each round, the DB Dealer resets itself to the last
setting used until the reset button is pressed. Players can also stop and
start the blind timer at any point during the round. When not in use, the DB
Dealer automatically shuts off after two hours to conserve its battery.
For convenience, the DB Dealer is packaged in a box specifically designed
to fit into any poker chipset card deck slot.
