The Venetian Las Vegas First to Adopt Slide Dealing on the Strip


The Venetian Resort Las Vegas has become the first poker room on the Las Vegas Strip to transition to slide dealing.

This shift marks a significant change in the way poker is dealt in one of the most famous gaming destinations in the world. Slide dealing is a technique where the dealer slides the cards across the table to the players, rather than pitching them from above.

This transition has sparked a debate among poker enthusiasts about their preferred dealing technique. Some players prefer the traditional pitching method, while others find slide dealing more efficient and less disruptive.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
