Bally’s 'Live  At  The Bike' Launches First TV Series Called 'Big Bet Poker'

Bally’s Live At The Bike announced that it has launched a brand new series that will expand its poker action into broadcast television.

The new series, Bally’s Big Bet Poker, will “offer the big stakes, big thrills, big characters – and the big fun – found on live stream, supercharged with a polished, action-packed television format viewing experience showcasing the absolute best cash game play,” according to a statement.

New episodes premiere every Friday at midnight on Bally Sports West Veteran television network. Showrunners Houston Curtis and Rick Mahr of Outlaw Media Group will serve as series executive producers.

“Bally’s Big Bet Poker is an exciting addition to our long-term gaming entertainment strategy that will feature the most thrilling high-stakes poker players in the world,” Curtis said in a statement. “Fans can expect to see high stakes poker enthusiasts from all walks of life ranging from celebrities and pro athletes to billionaires and business elite that want to battle at this one-of-a-kind poker table.”

“Whether it’s the guts of a big bluff or drama of a big money bet, viewers will experience an action-packed hour of entertaining cash game poker at the highest levels,” added Mahr.

Big Bet Poker will not impact the Live At The Bike streams over the internet.

Big Bet Poker will initially feature the popular Live At The Bike high-stakes no-limit hold’em game.

More names are expected to be announced in the future.

The series will feature never-before-seen player interviews, behind-the-scenes access, and special insider segments.

The announcement marks the first TV deal for the LATB brand. The Bally’s Live At The Bike stream airs every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
