The Game of Poker is not just for Poker Pros Anymore
Poker used to be accessible only in hotels in Vegas or from video poker machines, but now it is more in style than ever in Vegas thanks to the internet and TV.
The famous Venetian Hotel, is now gambling on the popularity with its new audience-participation show called “The Real Deal!” in its Venetian Showroom, debuting in October.
The new game show will mix comedy and game show elements to entertain its live audience. The audience will also be able to join in the great game of Texas Holdem’ alongside the some famous poker stars. There will be prizes for the audience including a chance to win 1$ million.
In “The Real Deal!” the audience will play with players like Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu. Around 10 of the World’s most famous poker players have already signed up for the poker game show. The audience will be able to play along with the 90 minute game thanks to handheld, wireless, touch screen devices located on each seat.
“People who take a vacation in Las Vegas casinos want to play poker games,” Negreanu says, “but obviously they can’t play in a world poker tournament with the people like Doyle or Phil Hellmuth. But, in this show, they actually can.” When the show begins, six audience members will be chosen to sit at the poker table on stage with two pros. Each audience member is then involved in the action by being dealt a unique set of poker cards on their devices. Everyone in the showroom is then involved in the action with big-screen monitors located on stage.
The show’s creators say that you don’t have to be a poker player to join in the poker tv show. There are other ways to build your point total, that doesn’t involve playing poker necessarily. Betting on the suit of the next poker card or trying to guess which state a particular audience member is from, are just some of the ways to come out a big winner in this game.
The show’s creators are also placing bets on the personalities of the professional players to create some interesting moments. People like Scotty Nguyen, the flamboyant five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, definitely definitely knows how to entertain the audience and will provide some great entertainment in this revolutionary poker game show .
