Asian Ambassadors in Oz
The recent Aussie Millions Poker Championship was the perfect opportunity for
prominent land and online casino poker gamblers to show their skills and face
off against some of the best that the international gambling industry has to
offer. For the newly formed The Poker Pack, this was a perfect debut arena.
Competition in the poker industry is pretty fierce but this team of specially
selected players represents some of the best that Asia has produced for the land
and online caisno poker gambling industries. The Poker Pack is team of six Asian
gamblers that played in the Aussie Millions event in representation of the Asian
Poker Tour.
The Asian involvement in land and online casino poker gambling is really quite
new – but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some amazing poker pros coming out
of the region. The game of poker has just caught on in much of Asia because of
the development of Macau, high profile coverage of poker events and the fact
that the game itself appeals directly to the Asian sensibilities where logic is
highly valued. One factor that has slowed the growth of internet poker is
restrictions on the online casinos and forms of internet gambling – add that to
censored media and television and it has taken just a bit of time.
But now that the game is catching on in popularity, The Poker Pack is just one
example of some of the great talent to come out of the region. The Pack
successfully faced off against other poker pros from the land and online casino
poker gambling industries and performed admirably at the Aussie Millions
tournament. |
