19 January 2010 (London, UK) – Gioia International Limited, creator of soon to launch RealDealPoker.com, has been nominated for the Innovation Award for a second year in a row at the 9th Annual European Poker Awards to be held at the Aviation Club de France in Paris on February 11, 2010.
RealDealPoker.com will be the only site to offer poker online with real cards instead of computer-generated hands. Gioia has created two unique products in the market – Cut N’ Shuffle® and Game Check®.
The Awards coincide with the official unveiling of RealDealPoker.com at an exclusive media event in London. The innovations that earned the nomination are the patented Cut N’ Shuffle® system – a fully automated, real card dealing system that scrambles, shuffles and deals real decks of cards, digitizes the results and then translates them to its online poker table games, and The Game Check® – the first system capable of producing post-game audit results.
Gene Gioia, Founder and CEO of Gioia International Limited commented: “I am honored that the European Poker Awards Committee has recognized our innovative and unique approach. We are ushering in a new era of online gaming with a commitment to transparency and complete audit functionality in all the online gaming we provide to players.”
The European Poker Awards, held annually in France, recognize achievements in the poker world. Votes are cast by a group of industry experts and player representatives from countries across Europe. The top finalists in each category now go forward for final judging by a panel of eight.
Breaking new ground with unique concepts, Real Deal Poker will launch in March 2010 offering a genuine game of poker online. Players are invited to sign up to keep informed of news and developments at www.realdealpoker.com.

RealDealPoker will give a live demo of the Cut N’ Shuffle® system in London on February 9th.
