What better way to combine watching our favorite celebrities and watching an exciting game of Texas Hold Em than to watch a celebrity poker tournament. Some actors, actresses, musicians and sports stars play poker with each other in a match of wits to see who can win the most money for their favorite charity. It a fun way to pass the time and to see how talented a celebrity is with a live hand of cards.

Bravo Television aired a series that was titled “Celebrity Poker Showdown” and it did quite well for the five seasons it aired. The premise was simple: bring together actors and actresses to play cards against one another. There was a series of tournaments. The winners of each tournament would then play against each other in a championship match. The goal of the entire series was for each actor and actress to raise money for his or her charity.

Sometimes driving to a nearby casino is just not an option.

Back in 1961 there was an act that was passed called the Interstate Wire Act, or Federal Wire Act.

All legalities aside, there are many casinos online that offer a wide variety of card games, slots, roulette, horse racing and even card games, such as Black Jack. There is literally something for everyone. Many of the best poker players in the industry now utilize online gambling as a way to hone their skills and rake up big payouts that allow them to play live. How many hands of poker are we talking about? Try a couple hundred hands in an hour. Most players utilize two or three computers at one time so they can play many hands at once.
