"The present invention is a casino style dealer button with a built-in timer that can accurately monitor the duration of each round during play while keeping track of the dealer position to determine the proper order of play. The button is easy to handle, does not consume too much space on the playing surface, and is also relatively affordable. It combines two poker accessories, a dealer button and a timer, into one device in order to be less obtrusive yet easily visible to all players and the dealer. The button provides both a visual and an audio method of keeping track of time during the course of play."
