Poker has existed for several hundred years all over the world in many
different forms. The gamblers who played on riverboats, or casino owners would have
never thought that the Internet would affect how gambling took
place or where. Casinos have taken great strides in attempting to avoid
the existence of online casinos. This competition would harm their
establishments and they would make less money, as potential or already
existing customers turned to the internet to play their games.
Many people realized how much potential there was behind the Internet
when establishing or using online casinos. This would enable people to
play and gamble in the comfort of their own home without having to get
dressed up or travel anywhere. These convenient casinos also had an extra
advantage, no brick and mortar investment was needed.
Planet Poker was the first casino to open its online doors to the public
in 1998. Sometimes coming in last at the finish line has better
benefits than being the first through the finish line, especially when
it comes to technology that is constantly improving. Paradise Poker was
second in line, but was given the the opportunity of avoiding and
learning from mistakes that Planet Poker ran into. There are many free
sites with money games. If you've ever witnessed a professional poker
tournament on TV, you more than likely have seen the shirts, and other
apparel with their names proudly stamped on them. Party Poker and Full Tilt
Poker are just some of the many examples.
Just about every winner from the World Series of Poker started with
playing online poker games. The advantages of online poker include low
cost play, 24 hour games, and tons of games that enabled players to play
many hands during the day. This gave them practice and allowed them to learn various
strategies in order to win. Chris Moneymaker won over $2 million from
the World Series of Poker. He too started with online poker games and
won his entry fee from playing in an online tournament.
Obviously he developed his skills and strategies enough to win in his
very first live tournament. His success encouraged many new young
players to attempt to become professional poker players as well.
Two types of online games exist for you to play. Many of the sites today
allow people to get their feet wet with the process, without the risk
of losing money. A multi-table game is the beginnings of a live
tournament. There are plenty of tables and players to play with. Sit and
Go tournaments are like the final round for its last two players. The
games usually have a low entry fee of around $2, and the winner can win
around $18.
You may not be able to see your opponents, but it's still just like a
live tournament. Many casinos are on the lookout for cheating in the form of player
collusion. Even though this could happen, this is generally a very low risk behaviour.
A huge advantage that online casinos have over physical casinos is the ability to review
every card played by every player. In a live physical tournament, this isn't
possible.
If you're interested in becoming a pro or just enjoy playing video
poker, becoming a member of a online casino has many advantages over a
physical casino.
