An Online Version of the WSOP
Good new for hundreds of online casino poker players – you don’t have to travel
all the way to Las Vegas to participate in some of the hottest tournaments. In
homage to the largest poker tournament in the world, the Las Vegas World Series
of Poker (WSOP), The Bodog online casino poker gambling site is offering a mini
version of this popular game on the Web site. This is ideal for the many players
looking for a bit of poker action without the expense – and for the players who
might not have enough skill to truly compete against some of the highest level
of poker professionals in the world.
The new Bodog Miniature WSOP (MWSOP) event takes place throughout June,
alongside all of the popular land poker games occurring simultaneously in Las
Vegas. Unlike this year’s WSOP event, the Bodog tournament will host the final
Main Event of the online tournament right after the culmination of the smaller
25 events that mark the WSOP. This means that players at the online casinos
don’t have to wait as long to discover who will be the winner of this inaugural
MWSOP event.
The MWSOP event is designed with the online casino gamblers in mind. The CEO of
the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group, Alwyn Morris, commented on the new event, ‘We're
happy to offer those not able to attend in person an affordable and exciting
online alternative.” The Gaming Group assumed control of Bodog just last month
when the site’s founder and CEO, Calvin Ayres stepped down from his position to
focus on more philanthropic endeavors. Bodog is a top name in the online casinos
industry, and management by the Mohawk Gaming Group will surely only continue to
promote Bodog into the international internet gambling arena. The buy-ins for
the smaller 25 events are completely affordable, with the budget of an at-home
poker amateur in mind. |
