Wanting on the success of different comparable exhibits, most notably PokerStars’ The Huge Sport, it’s clear there’s numerous curiosity in the sort of programming. The primary season of the Sport of Gold posted some pretty spectacular viewer numbers as nicely, so it’s fairly attention-grabbing that GGPoker isn’t keener on bringing the present again for one more season.

Some followers have voiced their opinion that the present could merely not be possible for the operator. The primary season definitely featured some high-end manufacturing, the worth of which will not be justified by the variety of views alone.

That will be a disappointment, because the Sport of Gold launched some actually attention-grabbing ideas that we have been all wanting to see develop and develop in future seasons.

The underside line is that no one actually is aware of when and if the brand new season is coming, aside from just a few people who find themselves retaining their lips tightly sealed. Is it as a result of the GoG shall be no extra or as a result of they’re ready for the best second to shock us all is anybody’s guess — however we (and plenty of poker followers on the market) are definitely hoping it’s the latter!
