Realtime state
Current room state has to travel fast enough to affect decisions.
Realtime Is a Business Requirement
In a poker room, a delayed update is not just cosmetic. If the display still shows a dealer on break after they have already been assigned, or a table as occupied after it has opened, the floor starts making decisions on stale information.
The Right Kind of Speed
The goal is not constant animation or unnecessary refreshes. The goal is timely propagation of meaningful state changes such as assignment updates, check-ins, breaks, and room availability.
Why It Changes Operations
Once the staff trusts that the current screen reflects current reality, coordination becomes easier. Realtime only matters because it improves judgment and reduces the lag between room changes and manager response.
