2001-06-19
ANTIGUA - DrHo.com, the world's only live online casino, will pioneer the largest live BlackJack World Championship over the Internet when tables open on Friday, 6 July 8.00am EST. With open eligibility, players are expected to log in from all over the planet to take part in a unique 48-hour non-stop extravaganza with US$10,000 in cash prizes on offer.Participants can join and leave as they please thru-out the tournament with prizes awarded on accumulated rankings - not by leagues and knock-outs. The format is designed to allow any player, big or small, the chance to win the main prize of US$7,500 since rankings are based on total percentage increase over original stakes placed, and not absolute values. Championship games will close at 8.00am EST on Sunday, 8 July. "DrHo.com offers Blackjack enthusiasts a unique opportunity to congregate over the Internet and pit their wits against each other in the first ever international tournament of its kind," said Peter Kjaer, CEO of DrHo.com. "Without the Internet, this just wouldn't be possible because not everyone can afford to travel to Las Vegas or Macau to play in competitions that traditional casinos arrange to attract high-caliber players. "Our technology platform is second-to-none and, unlike any other Internet casino operator, we actually have real croupiers with real decks, dealing in real-time. Everything is transparent because our software relays the game over live video with players able to see exactly how their games are played and decided. We're the Real Deal, able to use the Internet's global reach to bring together far-flung players and create events which are truly unique, open and fair." In addition to the Blackjack World Championship, DrHo.com carries a comprehensive range of casino favorites, which conform to the same rules as those played in Dr. Stanley Ho's casinos in Macau. Moreover, the site is licensed and monitored by the Antigua Gaming Commission and operates to the same high-standard of reliability and trust that Dr. Stanley Ho demands in his traditional land-based operations. Casino games currently available include Baccarat, BlackJack, Big and Small, Poker and Roulette. The site also carries the latest StarEastNet entertainment news and gossip on celebrities, as well as fashion reviews and articles on breaking trends - from handheld electronic gadgets through to beauty products and gift ideas. Dr Stanley Ho is an 80-year-old self-made billionaire who built his international luxury hotel-casino empire concentrated in Macau, a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China. He is chairman of STDM - Sociedad de Turismo e Diversoes de Macau - a major corporation that contributes significantly to the Macanese economy, and runs the world's largest jetfoil ferry fleet that runs between Hong Kong and Macau, 24x7.(To learn more, visit DrHo.com)
