It’s one reality show after the other for online poker. After the launching of G4’s “2 Months, $2 Millions”, another poker reality TV show is set to hit the airwaves soon.
Rounders House is a new reality TV show that, like the rest of online poker reality shows, will feature poker players playing poker inside a house surrounded by camera 24/7. The concept is more of online poker playing and Big Brother in one. The show is set to be filmed in Las Vegas this autumn.
Rounders House contestants should compete and win in various online poker tournaments to qualify for the show. What’s at stake is a 4-days stay in Vegas – airfare, food, and lodging provided, play poker and receive instructions from the pool of poker pros, live tournaments, and of course, money and fame.
Every day, the qualified contestants will be faced with challenges, play poker, and win some cash for themselves and (here’s the twist!) for their chosen charity.
Online poker doing publicity to hopefully gain attention is probably one of their ways to promote online poker for officials to consider the game as “acceptable”. This might be the most credible evidence they could hand on the table to prove that there is nothing illegal with online poker gambling.However, the contestants being set to play in the show should also show the earnestness towards this goal and be responsible in the kind of gaming that they would put up in playing online poker in the show – and they should try to see what the show’s goal is. They should know that this show is for not just for the money, but also for the future of online poker in United States – even if they’ll just play pretend, it would be the least that they could do.
