Prime Social Club in Houston is a few weeks away from bringing another major poker event to the Lone Star State. The series, which begins May 20, features a $1 million guaranteed Main Event and three additional six-figure guarantee events over two weeks.

Texas has some of the strictest anti-gambling laws in the country. For many years, poker players in the state mostly had to play in underground or home games. But over the past couple of years, an increase of membership-based poker clubs have popped up, and the gambling scene in Texas has grown.

State laws prevent gambling establishments from taking rake.
