Golden Nugget Atlantic City recently went live with America’s first Online Live Dealer Casino Hold’em table in America, offering it to patron’s at a low $1 min ante bet. This variant on Texas Hold’em is available on GoldenNuggetCasino.com.

Adding to Golden Nugget’s Online Live Dealer portfolio, patrons can now play Casino Hold’em alongside blackjack, American Roulette and Dragon Bonus Baccarat table games with real dealers from their computer or smartphone, anywhere in New Jersey. GoldenNuggetCasino.com now offers up to seven concurrent live dealer tables and plans to open more tables and games in the near future.

This subtle variant developed by Stephen Au-Yeung was designed to retain the popularity of Texas Hold’em but pit the patron against the dealer, instead of other players. The Live Dealer Casino Hold’em table is able to service an unlimited number of players and is now open for play for novice and experienced poker players alike. In addition to the base poker game, that can pay on both the Ante bet and Ante-Win, the option exists for patrons to wager on bonus side bets for increased odds on hitting a top 5-card poker hand determined from a patron’s two hole cards and the first three community cards.

GoldenNuggetCasino.com, in partnership with Ezugi NJ, has built a studio inside of the Golden Nugget Atlantic City to offer this innovative, digital gaming platform. Ezugi NJ, the company that provides the technology for Online Live Dealer, broadcasts the game in real-time so players can place real-money bets and interact with real dealers at the Golden Nugget Atlantic City, as well as other players at the table – all as if they are on the casino floor.

“Being the first to offer a Live Dealer version of the world’s most popular poker game in America, Casino Hold’em, shows our commitment to delivering on an innovative and world class product to our patrons,” said Thomas Winter, senior vice president and general manager, online gaming at Golden Nugget. “Our patrons have asked and we are happy to deliver on this request using our unique live dealer digital platform.”

“We are again honored to partner with GoldenNuggetCasino.com and Golden Nugget Atlantic City to bring the first ever online live dealer Casino Hold’em to America and New Jersey,” said Kfir Kugler, CEO at Ezugi New Jersey. “America is in love with poker, and by using the Live Dealer platform, the game retains its strong connection between the player and the dealer in a live environment.”
