Poker seems to be the answer. More and more cruise lines are adding Texas Hold ‘em poker to their casinos. Unlike other games on board, poker players compete against each other and the house takes a percentage of the pot also known as the “rake”. Most of the contemporary cruise ships of moderate size and larger feature at least one live poker table or an automated game that does not require a live dealer.
