The Nevada Gaming Control Board (GCB) has dealt a low blow to Fox Sports Network (FSN), potentially spelling the end for its poker game show idea, by imposing restrictions on the network's planned Pokerdome venue. FSN had planned to build a specially-constructed poker arena, dubbed the Pokerdome, to act as a studio in which poker games involving the world's greatest players would be filmed and watched by a live audience. Whereas the TV network has stressed the "game show" element of the events it wishes to stage, the Board views the Pokerdome as a planned gambling establishment that is thus subject to specific and detailed building regulations.
As the Pokerdome would house high stakes poker games, FSN would have to apply for and receive a "nonrestricted gaming license" from the GCB to legally proceed with its venture. Obtaining this type of license, however, usually takes months and would also require the TV network to include a 200-room hotel, a restaurant, a bar, and a fully-operating casino in its building plans. Needless to say, these elements were not part of FSN's plans. With a May 20th initial filming date looming, it appears as though the network's poker project will be postponed indefinitely.
