Any details about the show would be greatly appreciated.


Also, it said it would be airing on Travel Channel. That is real strange for sure. [/quote]
If enough of these reality casino games catch on, I wonder if Gambit, High Rollers, or even a Perry/Eubanks format revival of Card Sharks would have a shot in today's climate(GSN did do a blackjack-based game show pilot a year or two ago, but it did not sell to that network). Or maybe this would revive interest in TPIR's Poker Game :)

 I thought about that, and I honestly hope not. I do not want producers rushing to put out a half-assed revival of a good show, just to keep up with America's newest TV craze. That's how we got a mo' money version of 21, instead of a version that could've had potential, like the one from 1982. I liked the 2000 version, but giving away $100,000 just for winning one round was anti-climatic and ridiculous.* Now, if somebody competent** can do this and iron out the flaws, then I'm all for it.

*Yes, I know they scaled back to $25,000 for the first win, I'm just sayin'.

**I am not a TV producer yet, so I don't count. :-P

 Besides, your point is still valid even at $25,000.
