Royal Holdem approved in Nevada - Page 2 - Poker News

I was really sad when they took this game off UB. The best part was that it was in the same listing as the regular hold em games so you'd always get players thinking it was regular hold em and that they were getting unbelievably coolered over and over.

It is a pretty simple game though. I dare say possibly solvable?

Yes, this is the problem with it. It's too easy. Most successful poker variations can reward bad play in the short term, which is why they are difficult. Royal Holdem doesn't. You either figure out how to play it quickly, or you lose all your money quickly.

Fun fact: the next day UB took 15 million play chips from my account because I had exceeded some undefined limit. UB: "Cheating: It's not just for Nosebleed stakes."
