Kevin Lentz is Director of Table Games at a U.S. casino property and a veteran gambling industry writer with more than three decades of operational experience. He contributes regularly to Casino.org, Gambling Insider, CardPlayer, and other leading gaming publications.
He is the author of Smart Table Revolution, an insider’s look at how casino technology is transforming the modern gaming floor. Drawing on three decades in table games management, Kevin Lentz explores the rise of electronic table games, AI-driven surveillance, and data-driven casino operations. With a foreword by industry authority Bill Zender, the book examines how traditional table games are being reshaped by automation, analytics, and real-time player tracking. What once relied on instinct is now powered by data, changing dealer roles, player behavior, and the structure of the casino itself. More than a technical study, it is a frontline account of an industry evolving rapidly as traditional casino culture begins to fade.
