Casinos Get Green Light for Poker in Macau

Stanley Ho's Sociedade de Jogos de Macau and its Grand Lisboa has recently added four tables just for playing Texas Holdem poker, which signals the advent of this popular poker game in the Chinese gambling Mecca of Macau. The tables, which will likely see a lot of first time players, will be equipped with dealers ready to lend a hand, and SJM's leadership is positive the game will catch on. New rules from Macau's government will allow a three to five percent rake on the game for the house.
