Anyone For Kosher Poker?

RSS / Editor / 07 December 2007 / Leave a comment

ANYONE for Kosher Poker?

The Jewish festival of Chanukah is almost upon us, and for Jews that means wine, candles and a chance to play the dreidel game, a pastime marginally less exciting than counting dust.

But what's this? The new No Limit Texas Dreidel gives religion a gambling twist.
The stakes are small (chocolate money), and figuring out the odds of your hand are much, much easier than with actual poker.

As the blurb tells us: "Take dreidel, combine it with poker, and you've got a new dreidel experience that is truly fun. You'll check, bet, raise, or fold depending on the strength of your dreidel hand (or how much you like to bluff)."

Wow indeed. And why not extend the idea that gambling is a spiritual thing to all religions?

What about Holy Communion wafer cards - eat and win? Islam already has Mecca (geddit?) And who has not marvelled at the Buddha's poker face?

In readiness for the Holiday Season, a song. Take it away, Adam Sandler:
