They're Getting Younger

The land and online casino gambling industry is welcoming a new generation of top poker players into the fold – and it’s not because the old-timers are leaving! Poker is one of the top forms of gambling in the world – it has even caught on in Asia where it appeals to the Asian sense of mathematics. And in the past decade poker has shifted its face yet again with the advent of online casinos – now internet poker is a huge pastime that has allowed the game to easily spread to the global industry. With huge numbers of talented poker players heading online to learn the game and practice, it’s no wonder that the age of professional players is getting younger and younger.

Just last week a 22 year-old Danish player took home the top honors at the 2008 World Series of Poker event and he earned himself the title of youngest land and online casino poker gambler to win the Final Table event of a WSOP. Then you hear about the 22-year-old UK poker pro from Kent taking home some top prizes at Ladbrokes online poker tourneys and it seems that the industry is just getting younger by the day. There was a time (before the online casinos and even before the prevalence of poker in the global market) when poker was seemingly reserved for older men with cigars and a dark room.

That image though has changed in the intervening years and poker professionals are emerging from the land and online casino gambling industry in record numbers and they are just getting younger and younger. They are truly giving the older generation of poker players a run for their money.
