|
|
In United Kingdom (UK), the most common and
frequently played game is poker, and it has been there in the homes of
many people for numerous years. In many large cities of UK, there are
actually poker halls designated for the poker players so that they can
satisfy their urge of playing their favorite game. Some people play
poker just to have fun while others play the game to make money.
Majority of the people are now playing poker games online as it is
easier for them to make money from home. However, some people play the
game to have a pleasurable time playing their favorite game.
The Gambling Act 2005 has legalized the customers to enjoy the game of
poker at a pub that is there in their neighborhood. In UK, there is a TV
channel that show live broadcast of all poker tournaments and
poker-related events that are being held anywhere of the world. Since
the online poker games have increased in popularity as well, the number
of professional players in the last couple of years has increased
drastically. For decades, poker was played in UK homes but now it has
grown in popularity because of three major reasons.
The foremost reason of being such a popular game is that the game “No
Limit Texas Hold’em” was introduced as the American version of online
poker game. The game is the most addictive one and it is the easiest
game to be played as well. Usually in this game, each player has to hold
two cards down and five community cards which helps them in making
exact guess about the other player’s cards. Currently, Texas Hold’em is
highly demanded game in UK and is now the most popular poker game
worldwide.
The cable TV channels are the major contributing factor in the growth of
poker’s popularity in UK. On most of the games shows, it has been found
that the most commonly played game is Texas Hold’em. Lastly, the growth
of English online poker rooms has opened avenues for many poker players
to fulfill their desire of playing the game. The games are played by
diverse range of customers who have different calibers, hold varying
stakes and play with various players. Since the online poker rooms are
growing in number, the number of online poker games sites is also
increasing at an accelerating rate. Currently, there are thirty-one
online poker sites developed and run by USA developers; the players can
play games in English and even accept bets in US Dollars or British
Pounds.
Recently, there is a growing trend of women playing online poker games
in UK and from 2007 to 2010 the number of women players has quadrupled.
The reason that women prefer to play online is that it is safe and
convenient for them to access the casinos that are online. In present
times, the number of online poker games sites in UK is few and majority
of them are hosted outside the country. According to the law of British,
online poker games are legal and the sites have the licenses to
continue their operations. Hence, the online games are regulated so that
the sites are reliable and trustworthy for the players to play their
favorite poker games.
