Poker: MansionPoker.net Poker Dome major presence in
Las Vegas
It was truly amazing
to walking through Downtown Las Vegas and come
across a huge sign for Mansion Poker.net Poker Dome.
But this wasn't just any old advertisement.
This was a marquee sign and it soon became
abundantly clear that an entire building belonged to
the folks at
The Mansion Poker.net
Poker Dome is the next best thing in Downtown Las
Vegas and it is supposed to help revitalize the
downtown region. A new outdoor mall (open air
mall concepts probably aren't the smartest thing in
Las Vegas heat) has been deemed a complete failure.
Mansion has helped bring life to the mall (as one of
its anchors). But it is today's poker craze
and the World Series of Poker that will help bring
the Poker Dome itself to life.
The Dome is the
world's first interactive poker studio and the
centerpiece of Fox Sports Net (FSN) popular new
poker series, "MansionPoker.net Poker Dome
Challenge", in which online qualifiers of
have a shot at the $1,000,000 prize.
Anyone who has the slightest interest in poker needs
to make this a "must see" when in Vegas.
The huge, 80-foot by 40-foot Dome is constructed
largely of soundproof, one-way glass, giving the
more than 150 audience members an unprecedented look
at televised poker while protecting the integrity of
the game, ensuring the players inside the Dome can't
see out. It is the only venue in the world
where the audience can watch live poker around the
table and see the hole cards.
Housing 26 cameras,
more than are used in any other weekly televised
sports series, the Dome's technology is unmatched.
The specially constructed poker table inside the
structure utilizes card and chip tracker technology
and has LCD and time lights embedded in the table
for Speed Poker, the fast-paced game played inside
the Dome.
But our favorite part:
Each of the players wears a heart monitor with the
heart rate displayed for the audience the entire
length of the show's taping. This creates an
absolutely amazing interactive environment for
audience members.
The graphics and
production value are unsurpassed.
Gambling911.com cannot overemphasize how great an
experience this was even for those who have never
even watched a poker game.
The shows tape
Saturday night at 8:00 pm PST and air Sundays at 11
pm local time.
