Texas Holdem’ used to be a game available only in Sin City Hotels or from electronic poker machines, but now it is more in style than ever in Vegas thanks to the internet and TV.
The famous Venetian Casino, is now betting on this popularity with its new audience-participation show called “The Real Deal!” in its showroom located in the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino, beginning in October.
This new idea will join comedy and game show elements to entertain its live audience. The audience will also be able to join in the popular game of Texas Holdem’ alongside the best poker players in the world. 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 professional 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 come to Vegas casinos want to play poker games,” Negreanu says, “but obviously they can’t play in a top poker tournament 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 professional players. 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 producers say that you don’t have to be a poker player to join in the poker game. There are other ways to increase 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 winner in this game.
Creators of the show are also placing bets on the personalities of the professional poker players to create some exciting moments. Someone like 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 new idea for poker .
