Though it’s return was introduced some time in the past now, dates for the Season 2 of Recreation of Gold stay unknown. There may be additionally little or no info on the market as to what to anticipate from the following season when it comes to featured gamers, present format, and prize pool.
Regardless of real curiosity throughout the poker neighborhood (and the truth that even Squid Recreation, a TV present that partially impressed Recreation of Gold, received its second season), GGPoker stays tight-lipped.
Since these in cost aren’t giving us any info, we went forward and got here up with three issues we’d prefer to see for the following season. Fact be instructed, the filming might be performed by this level, so these are unlikely to have any actual affect, however it doesn’t damage to place them on the market.
Add Extra Personalities
The unique Recreation of Gold had a moderately spectacular lineup of professional gamers, however it felt a bit missing within the “personalities” division. This isn’t to say that skilled poker gamers don’t have a character, however everyone knows that including a number of drama-prone folks into the combination would considerably change the dynamics.
The entire thought of the present was to create one thing completely different, mixing poker play with a actuality present vibe, and this purpose was largely achieved. Nevertheless, the truth side of it might definitely do with some enhancements, and including a number of choose personalities would assist quite a bit.
We’re speaking about folks like Tony G (most likely unlikely), Doug Polk (mixed with some consuming problem), and Phil Laak (who will surely have quite a bit to say about all the things and something). Including a number of gamers like these into the combination would make the already nice present even higher.
Extra Crew-Based mostly Challenges
The primary season of Recreation of Gold featured quite a few challenges that concerned group play to a point, however, on the finish of the day, a bulk of it was pretty particular person. After all, with poker being a person sport, this got here as no shock, however there’s room for enchancment.
It will be good to see a number of challenges the place gamers actually need to work as a group to get forward. So, perhaps have a contest the place they rotate after every hand in a sequence of heads-up duels. Or, get groups to compete in one thing aside from poker to find out what number of chips they get to begin with after they transfer to the poker phase.
For instance, you could have a group of three folks dealing with three challenges like constructing a home of playing cards, blowing up ten balloons, and leaping rope. So, they’ve to choose who does what, and their beginning stack is decided based mostly on how effectively they do in comparison with different groups.
Sure, we noticed one thing related within the new season of Squid Recreation, however on this case, the results for failing a problem could be a lot much less dire.
Give Viewers a Likelihood to Get Concerned
Most actuality reveals present alternatives for the viewers to become involved and affect the end result to some extent. With Recreation of Gold being pre-filmed, this isn’t an choice, however there are nonetheless methods to make issues extra interactive.
For instance, on the finish of an episode, we might get the details about the upcoming problem and the groups. Then, viewers can vote who they suppose will do finest/worse and perhaps even choose a specific one who they suppose will outperform everybody else.
After the votes are in and the episode airs, those that had proper picks may be entered right into a draw of some kind to obtain prizes like GGPoker tickets, Recreation of Gold merchandise, and perhaps even an invite to be on the following season.
This will surely enhance ranges of interplay with the present, resulting in folks speaking about it extra, sharing their ideas, and simply having fun with the chance to be part of the entire expertise as an alternative of simply watching from the sidelines.
Whether or not we’ll see a few of these issues carried out in a method or one other is anybody’s guess, however one factor is for certain: poker followers have been ready for lengthy sufficient, and we’re all prepared for Recreation of Gold Season 2 (fairly please?)!
