If you're wondering why this is all taking place at the Tropicana, the answer is Bally's Corp owns the hotel and casino. Bally's Big Bet Poker, a televised show that originally was edited from Live at the Bike live-streams, will bring a state-of-the-art live-stream studio to Tropicana for some high-stakes games along with a new show called Live at the Tropicana.
Poker will soon return to The Trop, although an official launch date hasn't been disclosed, and it will include more than just a standard poker room. The old card room, promoted by 2006 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion Jamie Gold, closed a decade ago and was replaced by slot machines. Maverick Gaming, founded by Persson, will bring a poker room to the Las Vegas Strip resort for the first time since 2013.
