The online casino poker room you play at may soon be offering satellite games that will allow you to play at one of the many venues that the Asian Poker Tour will feature. On May 27th this new tour will be kicked off in the Philippines, then travel on to Macau and then finish the tour in Singapore. If some TV outlet picks up this tour, it should become a hit as the tournaments will attract well-known players and the cities the tournaments will be held in will be featured as part of the show.
The other obvious point of this new tour is that it further emphasizes the rapid growth and popularity of tournament poker. Online casinos with poker rooms will be well advised to run satellites to these tournaments, as many players would love to make the trip to play and see a country they may never visit otherwise. Big name players will play in them for the same reason that Joe poker would want to play. This tour will have a great deal going for it to attract a worldwide group of players and the poker audience. The poker proliferation continues unabated with this new poker tour.
