Professional poker player Bernard Lee has been recruited as a spokesman for the game at the Foxwoods Resort Casino.
Situated in Connecticut, the gambling establishment is the first major venue of its kind to sponsor a card sharp in this capacity.
Commenting on the move, Mashantucket Pequot Gaming Enterprises president Michael Speller confirmed that his organisation is "thrilled" to add Lee to the Foxwoods team.
He remarked: "Bernard is such a compelling figure on the poker landscape and we're certain that his expertise and talent will bring even more excitement and energy to the poker experience at Foxwoods."
Lee has been a pro for three years, following a 13th place finish in the World Series of Poker main event in 2005, with Joe Hachem going on to be the eventual winner.
Wayland, Massachusetts resident Lee has since secured more than $1.35 million and three titles while on the tournament circuit.
