“Deal” filming this month in New Orleans will soon present World Poker Tour (R) first Hollywood close-up, where we’ll see such hosts as Mike Sexton, Vince Van Patten and Courtney Friel playing themselves and Hollywood stars like Burt Reynolds and Bret Harrison. The cast of the film also includes a veteran actor Charles Durning, poker aficionado Shannon Elizabeth and WPT stars Phil “The Unabomber” Laak and Antonio “The Magician” Esfandiari.

The film produced by Michael Arata and Louisiana-based Crescent City Pictures and directed by Gil Gates Jr. tells the story of an ex-gambler (Reynolds starring) who teaches a hot-shot college student (Harrison starring) “to play the player”. The final in the film take place at the World Poker Tournament.

The WPT scenes will be filmed after April 18 -24, 2006 WPT World Championship (TM), the $12-15 million final to the 17-event World Poker Tour Season IV. The new WPT World Champion is to be crowned at Bellagio in Las Vegas and to be awarded a $3+ million prize, the set will be sent to New Orleans.

“Deal” is believed to bring much more popularity to the already popular show on the Travel Channel, and it will for sure contribute to the explosion of poker in the world scale.

The WPT being the world’s poker leader and an implementer of the gold standard in poker has introduced poker to the whole world using innovative strategies like televised poker that is seen in more than 147 countries. The WPT somehow inspires the players, and as a result of it a lot of men and women join the poker playing community. The WPT has transformed poker into the sport for a huge number of players and viewers, to say nothing of the hundreds of millions dollars of prize money believed to be able to realize the famous American Dream.

If you do admire poker, either playing or watching, there is one more possibility for you: the WPT airs on the Travel Channel every Wednesday night at 9pm ET/ PT in the USA and on ITV4 in the UK.

Is it has been announced Absolute Poker, the fourth largest online poker website absolutepoker.com has added Blackjack to its list of games thus expanding the online playing industry and increasing popularity, as it is believed that blackjack attracts many players thanks to the combination of both skill and chance. Regarding this event as a very important one, Absolute poker offers 200 % first time bonus, i.e. up to $200 to all new Blackjack players on their first purchase. The players can keep on playing against the Blackjack dealer for their chance to win with Absolute Poker’s “7 Madness” option up to $5,000.

Some bits of history. Blackjack, in other countries known as “21” or “pontoon” is surely on of the most popular games in the world. It comes from France where it appeared around 1700 known as “vingt-et-un”, i.e. “21”. Having appeared in the USA 1800, Blackjack gradually became very popular thanks to the idea of the owners of the gambling houses who offered a special 10-to-1 payout bonus in case player’s hand consisted of the ace of spades and a black Jack (either the Jack of clubs or the jack of spades). Later on this hand became recognized as “blackjack”. Though the bonus was soon abolished, the name remained.

The rules: the aim of the player is to get to the point of 21 which is closer than the dealer’s. But the player should not exceed 21. If you exceed this point total of 21, it is a “bust”, and i.e. the player loses his wager. If the dealer busts, he pays the player for point total less or equal to 21. In case there is a tie, known as “push”, the player keeps the original wager.

Roulette is a game that has been a symbol of a casino for a long time. It is popular all over the world as it is easy to understand and to play.

How to play NoBall Roulette? It’s simple. The task is simply to guess which card will be dealt, and the players at the table will have chips of different colors.

The variety of bets offered by the Roulette is great, and they are: bets on single cards, adjacent cards, section of cards, columns, suites, odd numbers, red cards, four of a kind, and many other. 96 % is the money returned on every bet.
