Televised poker and reality programming have irreversibly changed the face of broadcasting, with millions of people all over the world tuning in to these types of shows each week. Bodog CEO and founder Calvin Ayre is set to combine these two television genres into a new reality poker program. The poker show will be filmed at Ayre's majestic mansion, also known as the Bodog Compound, in Costa Rica and will feature 40 hopefuls vying for the $500,000 grand prize.
The poker show's "cast" will consist of 10 celebrities and 10 professional poker players, along with 20 Bodog.net online poker players who will be chosen based on applications they submit to the site. Weekly episodes will feature eight of the contestants taking part in a sit-and-go No-Limit Texas Hold 'em tournament, the winner of which will win $50,000 and a seat at the final table, which will be broadcast as the sixth episode in the series. The final table victor will win an additional $500,000 and will be slated to become television's newest reality TV star.
Ayre himself will host the reality poker show, which will begin production in about a month and start airing in mid-April. In addition to the poker play, the "reality" aspects of the show will treat viewers to an inside look at the mansion and luxurious lifestyle of the billionaire Bodog owner.
