Texas Holdem’ in the past was a game accessible only in casino hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada or from electronic poker machines, but now it is more popular than ever in Sin City thanks to the the internet.

The famous Venetian Hotel, is now betting on this new trend with its new audience-participation show called “The Real Deal!” in its showroom located in the Venetian Resort and Casino, debuting in October.

Their new show 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 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 members will play with players like Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu. Around 10 of the world’s best 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 take a vacation in Las Vegas casinos want to play poker,” 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 pro poker 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 professional poker player to participate in the game. There are other ways to raise your point total, that doesn’t involve 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 champion in poker in this game.

Creators of The Real Deal are also placing bets on the personalities of the professional poker stars to have great moments. Someone like Scotty Nguyen, the flamboyant five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, definitely definitely knows how to entertain the audience and will create some moments to remember in this TV poker game show .
