BIG MONEY BACKGAMMON
Online backgammon is
surging ahead as one of the most popular forms of entertainment and
gaming on the web today, much of this success can be attributed to
the growing number of online backgammon tournaments that have become
almost a daily occurrence with prize money getting bigger and better
with every tournament. The opportunity to play round the clock
tournaments with prize money escalating by the hour in some cases is
a big incentive to players and is a contributing factor to the rise
in the number of registered players.
Some sites such as www.play65.com which is said to have the largest
online backgammon room can lay claim to over one million registered
players, with up to 10,000 players playing regularly throughout the
day. Here are some of the reasons why.
Throughout September www.play65.com will be offering prizes from
$500.00 through to $2500.00, plus the chance to win exclusive entry
to the Big October Prize, where the prize money shoots up to
$50,000. Entry to the $50,000 tournament requires no buy in rather
you win your way through in satellite competitions. The BIG Prize
competition takes place on October 1st in a 3-7 tournament: with the
initial rounds Matching up to 3; and the Final Round up to 7 $50000
– will be split across 128 players who will all win prizes.
In many ways this is a prelude to the even bigger one, the
tournament that everyone in the backgammon world wants to play in,
the tournament that has the backgammon professionals salivating and
the backgammon media hyped to bursting.
This is the One Million Dollar Tournament sponsored by Party gammon,
the first online backgammon site in history to offer a guaranteed
One Million Dollars in prize money.
The tournament takes place on January 21 -25 2007 at the former
world championship location of the Atlantis Resort on Paradise
Island in the Bahamas. The ultimate winner of the top prize is set
to receive a guaranteed $500,000 in prize money plus the prestige
that goes with the title of the first million dollar winner.
The event will attract stars of stage and screen as well as board
and PC and will be televised, so that the whole backgammon world can
follow the competition.
