Tourneys All Over the World
The growth of the online casino poker gambling industry has had an interesting
relationship with the land gambling industry – although more and more gamblers
all over the world are beginning to flock to the internet poker sites, these
poker sites are, in turn, looking at land venues as a way to host fun poker
tourneys that will bring in more poker players. The relationship between the two
sectors of the poker industry is dynamic and supportive – quite the opposite of
the relationship that has developed between land and online casinos. PokerStars
has just announced the launch of two new major land poker tournaments that will
bring the thrill of the game to new regions of the world.
PokerStars is arguably the top choice for online casino poker gambling in the
world – the site is internationally respected and has the largest base of
simultaneous gamblers. The reputation is strong and the company is well known
for hosting both internet and land based competitive poker tournaments. Although
many of these tourneys have focused on the US and European markets in the past,
the two new first annual poker tourneys will take place this year in Mexico and
Bulgaria. The event will entice online casino gamblers to compete for seats to
the events and the prize pool is enough to solicit a lot of attention from both
land and internet poker pros.
The two events are really going to be the first of their kind in these regions
and should garner a lot of attention. The Mexican event has several stages and a
Peso $1 million prize for the winner as well as entry into the Grand Final of
the Latin American Poker Tour that will take place in Argentina. Similarly, the
Bulgarian event will mark one of the first times that the online casino poker
industry takes such a keen interest in the Balkan region and the Bulgarian event
will give the winner a European Poker Tour prize package in addition to other
cash prizes. |
