Ring Game - A game at the regular
poker tables as opposed to a tournament.
Ring games are also referred to as “live games” or “cash games” because actual money is in play instead of tournament chips.
The use of the term ring is analogous to the idea of players sitting in a circular shape (oval) around a poker table.
Some players specialize in ring game play and never participate in tournaments. Ring games afford dedicated players the
“stability” (if such a word can be used in a wagering environment) that tournaments cannot. (Devoted tournament players can
go days, weeks or even months without cashing.) Ring games are offered by the house in all different games and limits usually
on a first-come-first-served basis. If a ring game is full, players wishing to join must add their names to a waiting list,
and will be called in order as seats open up.
