Its all Asia

When the UIGEA was first announced on the poker lovers, there was a lot of speculations that the largely untapped Asian market would be the place online to go for the online casino operators. That prediction is beginning to come true now because the potential of how big the market can be has been shown.

The first ever poker tourney was held in the people’s republic of China and it was a huge hit. At this moment there is a special $15,000 high rollers event taking place in Macau with some of the biggest names in the game with a big prize of over $368,000.

Playtech is now planning to expand on the market by signing a three year deal to provide poker and other player to player games to Asia.
