Asia Film Release Expected to Increase Number of Online Poker Players Benefitting from Rakeback
Asia, it would seem is about to go poker crazy as a new movie has just premiered in Hong Kong that is bound to take the cinemas by storm. Texas Hold’em Poker, which is already seeing a worldwide increase in players, is sure to get a lot of new fans through the movie release.
The story is set in Asia and is the tale of two poker playing rivals that are competing in the same competition for the crown.
The film was shot in the well known Asian casino capital of Macau and already it has caused quite a stir due to the number of players arriving in the city during the APT Macau Festival last August while the film was being shot. The film had plenty of willing extras as poker players flocked to the shoot to try to get a place in the film.
Online gaming and in particular Texas Hold’em has seen an increase in popularity due to the fact that so many people can now compete all around the globe. Now it looks like it is about to have a huge impact on the poker scene in Hong Kong and other Asian cities.
The Film premiered with a star studded audience and the stars Louis Koo and Lau Ching-Wan also attended. Actor Louis Koo said, “This game is very popular in the West. Perhaps it has just started to develop in Asia. I had to learn mannerisms and skills from players outside Hong Kong.”
We can’t wait to see this movie and hope that it will soon be on release in the West. It will be curious to see how the game is received by the Eastern players as it is such a relatively new game to them!
I wonder how long it will be before the Eastern players catch up with us Westerners with playing online party poker rakeback and PKR Poker Rakeback?. I bet they can’t wait to get their hands on some brilliant rakeback deals.
