Online Casino Tourneys Popular
For internet poker gamblers who cannot make it to the major land poker
tournaments that occur in remote locations all over the world, some of the major
poker sites are now offering online tourneys that also feature large prize
pools. PokerStars is a top poker gambling site in the world – the company offers
a large selection of poker rooms, varying games, additional features and highly
competitive and lucrative poker tournaments. One of the site’s weekly poker
tourneys, the Sunday Million’s is soaring to new levels since PokerStars
announced it was doubling the guaranteed prize pool.
The Sunday Million’s tournament reported a record number of entrants into the
tournament this past weekend and as such the tourney’s prize pool also hit
record numbers. Online casinos are increasingly able to offer internet gamblers
some of the same advantages of gambling at the major tourneys (like huge payout
winnings) but without the hassle of traveling to an event. There are still
signature events in the land poker gambling industry that will take some time
before they are surpassed by online casino gambling tournaments – the World
Series of Poker events are just one example.
Major land events like the WSOP and WPT tournaments are likely to be displaced
by online casino poker gambling anytime in the near future, but that doesn’t
mean that the internet poker sites are willing to give these tourneys a run for
their money. Internet poker gambling at the major online poker sites gives
players the advantage of practicing their poker skills in their free time and
competing for significant prize monies on a weekly basis. The winner of last
Sunday’s poker tourney took home nearly $210,000 in winnings – only a portion of
the more than $1.7 million prize pool. |
