The Big Game On Tour brings back the PokerStars Big Game show, but this time with a twist. Six players compete in a $100/$200 ($200 big blind ante) no-limit hold'em game hosted by Resorts World Las Vegas. The game lasts 150 hands and one of the six players is the "loose cannon," who has been staked for $50,000.

Filmmaker Robin Benger covered 14 wars in 24 countries as a veteran TV producer but nothing prepared him for the discovery that war was being waged in the basement of his own home. He discovered that "first person shooter" games, and violence-centred gaming, are taking over as the entertainment of choice for a whole generation of (mostly) teenage males. Entering into that world, he began filming in cyber-cafes, games manufacturers‚ conventions, and mega gaming tournaments, even tracking down the designer of the very game causing him so much friction with his own son.
