Re: Poker In Macau
I'm in HK for a 6 month posting for work, and I'm going to Macau this weekend. I would really like to play in a hold'em game, but I can't seem to find any casino that would offer it. I've heard of some casinos offering limit hold'em, but the big bet is about HK$200, which is quite steep.

Big bet of $200 so it's a 100-200 lhe game? Thats is pretty much equal to a 15-30game (usd) I'd rather play no limit but if they only have limit 100-200, its better than nothing. I'm there in a month! |

Re: Poker In Macau
People there line up for a machine like people in the States wait for a Disneyland ride. Totally insane.

[/ QUOTE ] The "insanity" of Chinese gamblers in Macau is precisely the reason why the poker industry is drooling at the prospects of introducing Texas Hold'em to Macau and the rest of the Chinese-speaking world. The 007 movie Casino Royale, which opens in China on January 30, will be the first catalyst. |
