New Poker TV Game Show Places Normal People Alongside The Top Poker Players in the World
The game of poker in the past was a game available only in Las Vegas casinos or from video poker machines, but now it is more popular than ever in Las Vegas thanks to the internet and TV.
The famous Venetian Hotel and Casino, is now gambling on the popularity with its new audience-participation show called “The Real Deal!” in its showroom in the Venetian Hotel and Casino, 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 well loved game of Texas Holdem’ alongside the best poker players in the world. Many prizes are available 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 best poker players in the world have already signed up for the 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 Sin City want to play poker,” Negreanu says, “but obviously they can’t play in a top poker tournament with the players such as Doyle or Phil Hellmuth. But, in this show, they actually can.” At the start of the show, six audience members will be chosen to sit at the poker table on stage with two professional players. Each audience member is then involved in the action by being dealt a unique hand on their devices. Everyone in the showroom is then involved in the action with big-screen monitors located on stage.
Creators of the show say that you don’t have to be a poker player to join in the poker tv show. There are other ways to raise 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 shows producers are also betting on the great personalities of the pro poker players to have great moments. Poker players such as Scotty Nguyen, the flamboyant five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, definitely can keep an audience entertained and will provide some great entertainment in this TV poker game show .
