Texas Holdem Offered in Macau Casino

Posted on February 4, 2008

For the first time in history, Texas Holdem Poker is being offered in a Macau Casino. The renegade casino is the Grand Lisboa, and they opened up four tables of holdem earlier this week.

Reports say that there were two 5/10 no limit games, a 1/2 no limit game, and a 20/40 limit game. Each game had very long waiting lists.

Poker is exploding in Asia, as was evident by the success of the APPT (Asia-Pacific Poker Tour).

"We are confident that Texas Hold'em will become very popular here," said Louis Ng, SJM director and chief operating officer, in the AP article. "It is popular in Europe and in the U.S. and there are international Texas Hold'em Poker tournaments every year."

Macau is arguably the gambling mecca of the world, raking in more dough each year than the strip casinos in Las Vegas.
