In the fall 2007, pokerbot.com hosted the 2007 PokerBot World Championship on a seven day cruise out of Miami, FL. The event was open to both humans and bots. The host plaform was Poker Professional. There were nine entrants from four countries. The contestants paid their own travel expenses and tournament entry fees. The prize pool was composed from the entry fees. Trophy rings were awarded to the winners in each format category. Historically, this was the first recorded instance where bots were able to enter a traditional style poker tournament alongside humans. Each contestant was required to supply their own laptop able to interface with the host platform.
To date there is yet to be an actual hardware robot to sit and play poker at a standard physical poker table as any human would.
