An automated dealer table was a type of furniture used to play the card game Kessel Sabacc. The tables had an integrated dealer droid which guaranteed that players could not interfere with each other's cards.[1] By 3 ABY,[2] the tables could be found on worlds around the galaxy, including on the Mid Rim planet Kijimi, the Outer Rim planets Tatooine and Akiva, the Outer Rim moon Toshara as well as aboard the casino cruiser Morenia.[3]
Behind the scenes
Automated dealer tables appeared for the 2024 video game Star Wars Outlaws which was developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft.[3] Prior to the game's release, they were shown in promotional material; first appearing in the game's "Summer Game Fest 2024" teaser trailer which was released on June 8, 2024.[4] The tables were first identified as "automated dealer tables" in the 2025 reference book The Art of Star Wars: Outlaws.[1] The design for the tables was done by Concept Artist Adrien Girod[5] with the modeling, texturing and skinning done by the Level Artist Boris Kolimaga.[6]

Here is a collection of some of the assets I created for it. It was a real challenge as these props are seen in multiple cinematics as well as during a sabacc gameplay sequence, so the level of detail needed to be perfect." (backup link)
