Texas Holdem’ used to be accessible only in Vegas Casinos or from video poker machines, but now it is more popular than ever in Las Vegas, Nevada thanks to the the internet.

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, debuting in October.

Their new 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 top poker players. 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 come to Las Vegas casinos want to play poker,” Negreanu says, “but obviously they can’t play in a big poker tournament with the players such as 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 pro poker players. Each audience member is then involved in the action by being dealt a unique poker 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 professional poker player to join in the 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 poker winner in this game.

Creators of The Real Deal are also betting on the charisma of the professional poker stars to create some interesting moments. Poker players such as Scotty Nguyen, the flamboyant five-time World Series of Poker winner, definitely can keep an audience entertained and should provide some memorable moments in this TV poker game show .
