New Poker TV Game Show Places Regular Joes Alongside Pro Poker Players
The game of poker in the past was a game available only in hotels in Las Vegas or from video poker machines, but now it is more in style than ever in Las Vegas, Nevada thanks to the TV and the internet.
The famous Venetian, is now banking on this new found popularity with its new audience-participation show called “The Real Deal!” in its showroom located in the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino, starting in October.
The new game show will merge comedy and game show elements to entertain its live audience. The audience will also be able to participate in the well loved game of Texas Holdem’ alongside the world’s best poker players. The show has many 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 game show about poker. 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 visit Las Vegas want to play poker games,” Negreanu says, “but obviously they can’t play in a big game with the people like Doyle or Phil Hellmuth. But, in this show, they actually can.” At the beginning of each show, 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 professional poker player to join in the poker game. There are other ways to enhance 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 pro poker stars to create some great moments. Poker players like Scotty Nguyen, the flamboyant five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, definitely can keep an audience entertained and should provide some memorable moments in this revolutionary poker game show .
