Avid poker fans could soon be folding in favour of a new game. Borne out of the unprecedented worldwide success of online poker and the growing enthusiasm surrounding land-based blackjack tournaments, Get21 is making its online gaming industry debut with the introduction of innovative new online multiplayer blackjack tournaments for non-US players.
Blackjack is being postured by Get21 as the new poker – a fast-paced game for adrenaline junkies. House odds are a thing of the past as players go up against others to vie for the jackpot. Skilful play is essential and the cleverest hotshot walks away the winner.
Newly appointed Get21 CEO Idan Miller thinks Get21 will provide precisely what blackjack players are looking for. “The recent advent of blackjack tournaments marks the beginning of a new era in online gaming,” he said. “The ability to go head-to-head with other players has been long anticipated by blackjack fans.”
The tournament format, in which up to five players compete against each other, was in fact designed and developed by a group of professional players seeking to bring the excitement of poker tournaments to their equally enthusiastic blackjack-playing counterparts.
Miller is confident the site will succeed. “We aim at becoming the leading brand of the blackjack tournaments world,” he said. “The potential of blackjack tournaments injects much positivism into the current industry climate and we look forward to its success.”
