Palace Station is the second property owned by Station Casinos to feature the modernized tables. The casino group unveiled 17 of the charging-equipped tables at the Palms.

Casino officials say the Palms will have 40 of the new tables once its remodel is complete.

Officials say there is not a set policy on phone use at the tables, but it is at the dealer's discretion concerning how it's impacting the overall playing experience.
