Poker In Macau

[hashish101]

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.

You sure about that? Where is the game and where did you hear this from? 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!

People there line up for a machine like people in the States wait for a Disneyland ride. Totally insane.

I'll be in Macau during the christmas holidays and also would like to know if there are any poker rooms there.

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.

I'm pretty sure the DVD is already out over there.
