The rise in online casino
popularity has brought a lot of new focus to some old and
classic casino games. You can find all the most well known
games on line including blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat
and of course poker. Poker has become so immensely popular
at the online casinos that a whole series of related events
are starting to emerge including TV poker, celebrity poker
tournaments and more. The growing popularity of poker at the
online casino has helped boost an interest in poker
tournaments including the US World Poker Tour and now a New
European Poker Tour to follow.
The European Poker Tour was started as an answer to the
unbelievably popular World Poker Tour in the USA. The
World Poker Tour
in the USA proved that there is an enormous audience on
television that is enamored with professionally produced
programs that focus on the drama, tension and excitement of
the existing poker circuit and tournaments.
The USA Tour was such a success that the European
counterpart was inevitable. Seven hour and a half long
programs will be produced, focusing on existing tournaments
across Europe while leading up to a Grand Final Event in the
brilliant surroundings of the Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco.
The final event will include ten top finalists and runners
up selected from the six EPT preliminary events who will
also compete along side the finalists for the title of EPT
Series 1 Grand Champion.
The European tour has been planned for 2005. The tour will
sweep through the major cities of Europe including London,
Paris, Barcelona, Vienna and Dublin.
John Duthie of the PokerStars European Poker Tour had this
to say, “All across Europe, from land based casinos to
online casinos, interest in poker is booming. It´s only
natural to provide a circuit for the serious European poker
player.” He added, “Finally, Europe will host a premier
poker tour.”
The final event will take place in Monte Carlo Casino in
Monaco and is expected to draw a lot of media attention and
hype. Prize money is estimated to exceed more than 2 Million
euros for the final event alone. The final winner of the
poker tour is estimated to take home over 1 Million euros.
