“Competitive Edge” to feature 3zilla's ButtonTimer™- Authentic Casino Dealer Button contains Timer-July 19, 2006 , Deerfield Beach , FL – PTGTV is pleased to announce the selection of 3zilla, LLC for its innovative, educational television series Competitive Edge . The organization will be featured in a segment on “Tournament Excitement made Reality” in our Ultimate Poker Series. With the poker industry recently being named as the fastest growing sport, 3zilla, based in Irvine , CA , has created the ButtonTimer™, which has already begun to get rave reviews from its users, mainly for maintaining the authenticity of dealer buttons used in casinos today. It expedites poker play in a Texas Hold'em tournament setting, allowing players to have a finite time limit for the multiple rounds or for decision-making at the table, ranging from the professional tournament table to the kitchen table. The ButtonTimer™ has a smooth, compact, no-screw design just like a dealer button used in casinos today, being exactly 2 inches in diameter and 0.25 inches in height. It contains a small, built-in digital timer that keeps track of the game and alerts players when time has run out. The timer can be set up to 99 minutes and can be programmed in one-minute increments with a continuous advance setting mode for faster setting. President, Jack Mongkolkasetarin states, “ In designing the ButtonTimer™, I knew that any professional poker advocate would not want a poker accessory that was gimmicky in appearance and detracting on the poker table. I consider myself a traditionalist in terms of poker players, and in today's market, it's easy to produce products with too many bells and whistles. My goal was simplicity – to produce something that even a casino can assimilate into their poker tables without taking anything away from the game.”
Another unique feature of the ButtonTimer™ is its tamper-proof design, which prevents players from inadvertently hitting the buttons; however, to notify players of any tampering, it would emit a loud beep. It is designed without screws or apparent seams, which makes it a pleasing addition to any poker table. Every ButtonTimer™ is custom packaged in a box with a plastic molded tray for secure fit and protection during delivery. Features include a discreetly positioned screen displaying minutes and seconds during countdown , preset memory throughout an entire tournament , and a significantly loud audible beeping sound so players are capable of hearing it in even the noisiest environments after each countdown. The ButtonTimer™ can be paused at anytime, runs on only a single battery, and has a manual ON/OFF button – available in black and white. ButtonTimer™. It's about time.
