New Texas Hold’Em Variation To Be Offered In Vegas

Texas Hold’Em poker players in Las Vegas are in for a treat. The Nevada Gaming Commission has approved a new variation of the popular game to be played in the casinos along the strip. Royal Hold’Em is already being touted as the ‘world’s fastest poker game’ and it is being marketed by New Poker, LLC out of Las Vegas. It is the company’s first foray into live casino and poker room play and they are hoping that it paves the way for other poker variations that they are developing.

Royal Hold’Em is played by the same rules as Texas Hold’Em poker, but instead of using a full 52 card deck, only 20 cards will be available – 10s through Aces. One game can be played between two to six players who will follow the same betting schedule as the standard Hold’Em variation including head to head play against the players and no betting against the house.

According to poker pro Scott Fishman on playing with only the twenty face cards, “Hands are obviously higher and just about every player always bets to the flop. A lot of hands are won on the last card dealt and a Royal Flush or a bad beat can happen with the turn of a card. It’s a hot game.”

The game is appealing to players because it allows for more bets to be made and fewer hands to be folded. The pots are larger, the game play quicker, and there is more excitement among the players all around. As more and more younger players are discovering the fun in poker, there is a call for more action at the table. Veteran players are enjoying the fact that Royal Hold’Em offers them more play variety.

New Poker, LLC is relatively new to the poker community. So far they have proven their worth as an innovative gaming company, creating, testing, and marketing new games that are proving popular with the video game crowd. With the addition of traditional poker players being added to the mix, the company is already seeking a way to introduce more games to live casinos and poker rooms. They have a patent approved for another Hold’Em variation called ‘No River Hold’Em’ which allows ten players to compete against each other at a table. Once again it is played following the standard Texas Hold’Em rules with a 52 card deck, but players are dealt three cards instead of two and there is no river community card dealt. This game allows for a larger starting hand variety.

The company has already secured the distribution rights to a large selection of proprietary table games and they are working on distributing and licensing them to both online and live casinos.

Is the end in sight for GSN High Stakes Poker

Reports of new episodes are silent. Filming has frozen and the word on the street is that executives may be ready to drop the popular US television show High Stakes Poker.

High Stakes Poker, originally created by executive producer Henry Orenstein, is a series of televised poker games viewed on GSN. Being only 6 seasons old, viewers are enthusiastically awaiting the arrival of the 7th season’s worth of play, but several websites have reported that the show will be axed after a change in management at GSN.

The attraction of HSP games is the considerable differences of the rules compared to tournament poker. Chips, for example, represent real money, the cash in the pot doesn’t require conversion into chips and for their participation, the players receive $1,250 per hour. Players are able to bring in cash instead of chips, and unlike in tournament poker, the blinds and antes remain constant throughout the game.

Players who wish to be seated at the table are required to enter each game with a minimum bet of $500,000. The option of re-buying with a new minimum of $50,000 if they lose their initial buy-in is also available, making the potential losses of each player increasingly steep compared to that of the traditional poker tournament. The nature of such potential losses as well as gains, alongside GSN’s effective editing of each game, has proved to be an exciting and addictive series for many viewers.

However, after the recent departure of ex-CEO Rich Cronin from GSN, the brains behind televising the cash poker game in 2006, and little reassurance that series 7 will be emerging anytime soon, fears amongst the punters has risen to suspect that High Stakes Poker may cease to exist on their favourite cable channel program.

On being approached about the matter, Co-host AJ Benza has admitted that as “far as Gabe and I know… the show isn’t coming back” and he reported how it seems the channel wishes to head in a different direction and targeting new younger audiences. So, with its older category viewer, and despite being the number one show, High Stakes Poker may be given the boot by the GSN channel. Dennis Oehring at Poker PROductions however, has stated that he has received no official report that the HSP series will be cancelled and will not draw conclusions until GSN makes a decision about the future proceedings and renewal of the contract. GSN are scheduled to make this decision on 27th May.

With top pros such as Daniel Negreanu, Doyle Brunson and Sammy Farha being regular competitors around the HSP table, and play for pot prizes of up to $1,000,000, the high-adrenalin show will be sorely missed if doesn’t return to our screens.
While viewers are already feeling disappointed and Benza disheartened and unappreciated by GSN, thoughts are now turning to the future of additional poker shows with the concern they too will be affected if GSN doesn’t renew the contract.
