It seems every top online poker room has started their own poker reality television show. You have PokerStars new Million Dollar Challenge and Full Tilt’s Face The Ace. Now a new reality poker show is in the works that is supposedly more family friendly and can be enjoyed by the whole family.

The new show is called Shuffle Up and Deal and the main goal is to finish with the most cash to advance to the bonus round. Contestants earn cash by picking cards from an electronic board and the card will either help them or hurt them.

Dewey Oates of Oates Media Group commented on the new show stating: “It’s our goal to demystify the game of poker. In years past, shooting pool was seen as evil by some. Poker is just another game with cards and should be fun for anyone to watch and everyone to play.”

Randy West, the voice of The Price is Right is set to be the new show’s host and production is scheduled to start this November.
