World Poker Tour Now Has Casino Game

Game Was Recently Approved to be Played in Nevada Now people who don’t even play poker but are fans of the World Poker Tour can walk into a casino and say the words “all in” like they mean it. After a field trial at Bellagio, the Nevada Gaming Commission approved the “World Poker Tour All-In Hold’em” table game. The game was developed by Lakes Entertainment, a Minnesota-based casino operator and gaming company that owns more than half of World Poker Tour Enterprise’s stock. The pit game looks a like a blackjack table. The action of the game is very similar to the version of Texas hold’em found in cardrooms. Players place a bet to receive two holecards. If they want to see the flop, players have to bet five times the original bet. They could also raise “all-in” by betting 10 times the original bet. The board is then dealt, and bets are paid off accordingly. Like most casino table games, players can opt to lay down bonus bets that pay up to 500-to-1 for a royal flush. All the players play against the dealer. The tables are adorned with the now-famous red, white, and blue “WPT” logo and can accommodate six players, plus the dealer. The game was already available at casinos in California, Missouri, and Michigan. Now that the Nevada Gaming Commission gave its approval, Bellagio will go to two tables and Mirage and Treasure Island will also add the game this month. In January, it will be found at Gold Strike in Tunica, Mississippi, which will bring to 10 the number of casinos that offer the game.
