Texas Holdem’ used to be accessible only in hotels in Vegas or from electronic poker machines, but now it is more in style than ever in Las Vegas thanks to the the internet.

The famous Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino, 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 and Casino, starting 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 take part 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 professional 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 take a vacation in Las Vegas, Nevada want to play poker games,” Negreanu says, “but obviously they can’t play in a big game with the players such as Doyle or Phil Hellmuth. But, in this show, they actually can.” When the show begins, 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 poker hand 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 pro poker player to participate in the poker game. There are other ways to build 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.

The show’s creators are also betting on the great personalities of the professional players to have great moments. Poker players like Scotty Nguyen, the flamboyant five-time winner of the World Series of Poker, definitely knows how to entertain the audience and is a sure bet for some great TV moments in this TV poker game show .
