ONLINE CASINO LAUNCHES MAJOR ASIAN POKER TOURNAMENT
$1 million prize pool put up by online casino newcomer
One of Boss Media's more recent online casino licensees, Maharajah Club.com is making a major investment in Asian poker this week with the launch of Asian Poker Classic, bringing the game of poker to Indian fans in a professional tournament first in that country.
With a $1million prize pool guaranteed by Maharajah Club, APC will be held in Goa, India from March 1-4, 2007 at the InterContinental, The Grand Resort Goa.
Based on No Limit Texas Hold'em, APC will likely attract people from all over the world who hope to win the prestigious tournament and their share of $1 million, including celebrities as well as professional and online players. Over two hundred players are expected to attend the ground-breaking event, and MaharajahClub.com is offering satellite tournaments for chances to win $7 500 buy-in packages for Goa. Starting from as little as $4, daily online satellites are available on the Maharajah Club.com website. One in 10 players has a chance to win a seat to the weekly satellite and 1 in 25 will win a $7 500 satellite package.
Maharajah Club spokesmen said that India boasts one of the most rapidly growing economies in the world with highly educated, affluent communities expanding at astronomical rates, a potentially lucrative environment for the gaming community. Goa is located on the west coast of India and is known as 'the pearl of the Orient'. It has magnificent scenery, incredible temples and fabulous beaches. Numerous Bollywood celebrities are slated to attend the big event, led by Maharajah Club ambassador, Gulshan Grover.
Sachin Pawa, CEO of Maharaja Gaming commented: "We are very proud to sponsor the first Asian Poker Classic, there is just a natural synergy for us with APC. People will be clamouring to be at the Asian Poker Classic and, someone is going to be the first ever winner of a tournament that is already ranking among the best in the world. APC will provide a poker experience which has never been created before and an experience that will bring people back year after year."
