Poker is a social game allowing for plenty of hours for conversation among players. With that in mind, BetMGM recently surveyed over 2,200 people to identify who they would love to share a table in the categories of musicians, athletes, politicians, couples, deceased, and celebrity gamblers.
With the presidential election on the horizon, 61.5% of respondents chose Barack Obama as their preferred politician. Another 14.7% said they would like to play with Kamala Harris while 32.5% picked Donald Trump.
As for musicians, Generation Z (those born between the late 1990s and early 2000s) dream of playing with Billie Eilish. Millennials (1981 to 1996) picked Eminem, and Gen X (1965 to 1980) and Baby Boomers (1946 to 1964) would play with Elton John.
Other notable results included Kendrick Lamar at 19.4% of tables, compared to Drake at just 11.3%. A whopping 34.1% chose Betty White if they could pick a deceased person. Princess Diana and Freddy Mercury were other top contenders.
As for celebrity gamblers, Michael Jordan predictably tops the list in North Carolina. In Kentucky, Lexington native George Clooney is a favorite.
“Our survey reveals that the ideal poker table is shaped by a mix of personal connections, cultural influences, and even generational divides,” the report noted. “Whether it’s pop culture legends like Billie Eilish or sorely missed icons like Betty White or Elvis Presley, who we would choose to play with says a lot about who we admire and relate to.”
