Russian Poker Players Flocking Online
|
July 7 - As Russian authorities got underway to carry out the new law that calls for the closure of gambling establishments across the country, poker players started looking for locations to continue with their entertainment.
Putin's laws left gambling legal in only four remote areas of Russia, most them out of physical reach from the average citizen who simply wants to enjoy a game of poker now and then.
As a result, thousands of Russian poker players have turned to online poker rooms and are asking themselves why they didn't discover this great option beforehand.
As the fastest growing game online, poker is well established on the internet and players are able to find a huge variety of sites, games, software and choices.
One site that is making an effort to attract poker players from Russia is Barnyard Poker. This quality site, that operates with a gaming license issued by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority of Malta, offers players a superb collection of quality sit and go tables and top software for a highly entertaining experience.
Tournaments are held at regular intervals at Barnyard Poker, with freerolls offered on a daily basis.
It remains to be seen whether the Russian government will be successful in its attempts to block gambling activities and whether these efforts will expand to online casinos as well. "The US government made a similar attempt to stop their residents from gambling online, and it has failed miserably," said one observer. "You would think the rest of the world would have taken notice of the failure, but in Russia they have not."
