"Jack Binion started the World Series of Poker back in 1970, and it has grown into the most recognized poker tournament in the world", said Kurt Stine, publisher of the popular gaming investing site. "His father, Benny Binion, was famous for taking the largest betting action in Las Vegas, and now Binion's is continuing their legendary way of leadership by introducing the 2006 American Poker Player Championship to be held at Binion's in downtown Las Vegas." Over 14,000 poker players entered the World Series of Poker this year, exceeding last years total, and tournament organizers predict the total number of registrations will reach 23,000 by the time the main event begins on July 7th. ESPN's coverage of the WSOP draws ratings comparable to NBA Basketball, and is a clear indicator to the incredible surge in the popularity of poker. Industry estimates state that 50 to 60 million Americans play poker at least once a month. "With entries almost doubling year to year, and people hoping to become the next Annie Duke or Greg 'Fossilman' Raymer, I expect that the American Poker Player Championship will be a huge success for Binion's and Omni Media and Entertainment", said Mr. Stine. The popularity of televised Texas Hold'em Poker Tournaments is also fueling the online gaming industry, which is adding to the bottom line profits of publicly listed gaming software companies including SportingBet (SBT.L), Chartwell (CWH.TO), Cryptologic (CRYP), Gaming Transactions (GGTS.PK), and World Gaming (WGMGY.OB) In addition to the http://www.gaminginvesting.com investor site, Mr. Stine publishes http://www.pokernewsweb.com which educates the public with timely poker industry news, poker strategies, and poker commentaries written by winning poker players.
