The game of poker used to be a game accessible only in Las Vegas casinos or from video poker machines, but now it is more popular than ever in Las Vegas thanks to the the internet.

The well-known Venetian, is now banking 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 merge comedy and game show elements to entertain its live audience. The audience will also be able to participate in the popular game of Texas Holdem’ alongside the world’s best poker players. Many prizes are available 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 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 Sin City casinos want to play poker games,” Negreanu says, “but obviously they can’t play in a world poker tournament with the likes of 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 tv show. 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 big poker winner in this game.

The shows producers are also betting on the great personalities of the professional poker stars to create some interesting moments. Poker players such as Scotty Nguyen, the flamboyant five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, definitely can keep an audience entertained and is a sure bet for some great TV moments in this revolutionary poker game show .
