Poker Tournament Seat Reservation Service Launches

By Unknown

Does the $50 tournament at your local casino often sell out before you get there? Do you hate the long registration lines for your favorite local tournament that cause you to have to get there 45 minutes early if you want to see the first hand? A new service has launched that will allow you to pre-book your tournament seat via your credit card.

PTSeats allows its members -- and membership is free -- to buy in days or even weeks in advance via credit card for poker tournaments at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. Currently, the Taj is the only casino that PTSeats offers tournament seats for. According to the website, the ability to buy seats for tournaments at The Wynn, The Venetian, and Pokernews Cup Australia 2007 The Orleans in Las Vegas is 'coming soon'. The Hard Rock Seminole in Florida is also on the coming soon list.

An early proponent of this service is Phil Gordon, who in addition to being pictured twice on the front page of the website, writes a brief 'tip of the month' column for the site. "This is a great, convenient service that I'm sure players will love," notes Gordon in the press release.

pai gow poker history

Pai Gow Poker History

History of Pai Gow Poker lies in the fascinating ancient Chinese game of Pai Gow. The original game of Pai Gow was played by the Chinese with tiles that were similar to dominoes. These tiles, or dominoes, were separated into groups by the Pai Gow dealer and then a roll of the dice determined which set of tiles belonged to which player. In the 1800's different versions of the Pai Gow game existed in China. As other games, Pai Gow is believed to have been brought into the United States in the 1800's, by Chinese immigrants who arrived to work in mines and on the railways. In Califonia, this chinese game changed its name from Pai Gow to Pai Gow Poker to get around gambling laws.
