Texas Hold ‘Em exploded in popularity in the past few years, with millions flocking to online gaming sites and live tournaments. Even InventHelp’s InventHelp Girl loves getting in on a friendly poker game here and there!

Poker involves a series of forced bets, or blinds, that keep the game’s pace on track. Without them, a game of poker could go on all day! Between chips, card tables, timers and position buttons, gathering and transporting all the necessary poker supplies can be trickier than you’d think.

Despite their usefulness, blinds can also be the bane of a poker player’s existence. Keeping track of the times on cell phones or kitchen timers can be distracting for the player doomed with the task. One Portland, Ore.-based inventor took a gamble on a poker invention that he believed solved this logistical problem.

Jeff Klein invented the DB Dealer Button, which includes an adjustable blind timer and a 30-second bet clock for slow (or “thoughtful,” so says InventHelp’s Invention Girl) players. Compact enough to fit in a poker chips case, the invention helps players to focus on their strategy and not on the supplies.

So, is the invention catching on among hardcore poker players? You can bet on it – the patented token has already been licensed by the World Poker Tour. The DB Dealer Button retails for between $13.95 and $23.95. Poker enthusiasts can find it online at dbdealer.com.
