Blackjack Tour Will Help Online Casino Industry |
| Blackjack is without a doubt one of the most popular games in land-based and online casino sites. The Ultimate Blackjack Tour, soon to be aired on CBS will try to even further enlarge the game’s popularity. Much like the World Poker Tour, who helped promote it around the globe, this tour will try to do exactly the same. Blackjack players will be able to learn from the pros while watching them play on the TV, and then implement what they’ve learned at the online casino of their choice. The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas has been the first to host the Blackjack Tour, offering a grand prize pool of over 100,000 dollars. The six players that made it to the finals will be flown to Los Angeles in January, in order to participate in the live Ultimate Blackjack Tour, which will be aired later on CBS. But not only will those lucky 6 players benefit from the event. According to experts the whole online casino industry is expected to gain from it, as the game’s reputation will quickly spread around the Internet. People all around will watch the experts play the game, and will try later to imitate them at the online casino sites. Russ Hamilton, founder of the Ultimate Blackjack Tour, recently said: “Since this show has begun airing on CBS we have enjoyed a dramatic, and most welcomed, rise in the gaming world. I’m sure that the show will only benefit the entire online casino community”. With more than 3 million dollars in prizes guaranteed for the winners, the online casino sites will surely not be the only ones benefiting from the upcoming tour. |
