Poker Macau 2019
Plans for a 2019 edition of the Poker King Cup Macau have been temporarily dropped due to “unforeseen circumstances”. While no specific reason was given for the cancellation, it’s now understood the tournament may not have been granted approval by the local regulator. One of the latest addition to the Macau Poker Scene (2019) and one of the most famous casino of the city. In the majority of Macau’s casinos, poker is seen by casino management as taking up space that could be used to house table games. And with poker rake being a mere 5% of a pot, this means that a poker room will earn significantly less money than house games would, hence the casinos generally anti-poker stance. This is probably the most serious of the city’s poker rooms. While the Venetian may have the single biggest game in town, nearly all the tables at the Wynn are high stakes. This is a poker room aimed at those with platinum credit cards.
