LAS VEGAS, NV: The poker room at Treasure Island is trying out two new Texas Hold’em variations. Royal Hold’em and No River Hold’em, both games are being spread at $4/$8.

Royal Hold’em is played with 2 to 6 players, the game is run exactly like regular Hold’em except with a twenty card deck. Only the Aces thru Tens are used. Same betting structure, same blinds but lots more full houses and royal flushes.

No River Hold’em is played with up to ten players. Each player is dealt three cards instead of two and there is a flop and turn but no river. You use your best five cards to make your hand and yes you may use all three of your hole cards.
