- Planned expansion of the “Live at the Bike” format to casino and card rooms across the US.
- The plan is to offer any given casino the ability to broadcast their own version of “Live At The Bike,” direct from their own cardroom floor, and stream it from a the casino’s own website and a new Deepstacks live TV show.
- “One of our major priorities at DeepStacks is to create as much meaningful content on the web as possible.”
Parent company of the DeepStacks Poker Tour and poker webcasting company Joker Gaming have announced a partnership in hopes expand the popular online live-streaming cash game format of “Live At The Bike” to casinos and card rooms anywhere.
Complete with RFID hole card displays, custom graphic packages, social media tie-ins and direct brand and sponsor options, the new venture is looking to be able to generate a wealth of online cash game poker content for consumers and the casinos that host them.
“With the proverbial dust of Black Friday having settled down a bit, more and more networks and gaming companies are looking not only for meaningful content but also an avenue to get 're-introduced’ to the poker industry,” DeepStacks CEO Chris Torina told pokerfuse.
The plan is to offer any given casino the ability to broadcast their own version of “Live At The Bike,” direct from their own cardroom floor, and stream it, live or archived, from a newly conceived DeepStacks TV online channel as well as the casino’s own website.
“One of our major priorities at DeepStacks is to create as much meaningful content on the web as possible. With people transitioning to online delivery of their favorite shows or even finding old clips of previous episodic content, it is our goal to be a leader on that platform for gaming.”
Currently, the new venture is looking to offer specialty programming. One-off broadcasts, quarterly events or side game action that accompanies a major tournament hosted by the casino are the types of content the newly branded “Live!” is looking to produce. It has yet to be offered in a regular format, such as the bi-weekly “Live At The Bike” which takes place at the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles.
The combination of the two companies also allows for the combined talent resources. In an effort to “not fix what isn’t broken” the new “Live!” programming is set to utilize the stable of LATB commentary team with the addition of DeepStack Director of Poker Operations Tristan Wade and DeepStacks guests such as Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi, according to Torina.
The new service is expected to provide free on-demand archived events for the consumer, in addition to the live streams on the days of the events. DeepStacks and Joker Gaming are planning on announcing the first of their partners within the next month.
