G2E Features GameAccount Tournament Blackjack
16 September 2005

This past week marks GameAccount’s official launch of “Tournament Blackjack”. This tournament is a unique skill-based, P2P (person-to-person) adaptation of the extremely popular Blackjack game. This innovative new game was recently released at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas, which is the leading trade event for the world’s casino and gaming entertainment industry. Every year more than 25,000 professionals from around the world attend the G2E.

GameAccount’s thrilling new version of Blackjack allows players to take part in “Heads-Up!” which is a special feature where they never directly play against the “House” and instead can play against other opponents online. Each player begins with a fake chip stack that totals $10,000, and the goal of each player is to build a bigger stack of chips than their opponents by using the same exact sequence of cards that is dealt to both the players and the automated in-game dealer.

Therefore, what this innovative new version of Blackjack provides to the new and experienced players of the game is a chance for them to show off their own “edge” to their opponents, instead of having to compete directly against the customary “House” edge. Furthermore, there are a number other exciting features players can enjoy when engaging in Tournament Blackjack. For instance, players can instantly double their money by entering cash tournaments. Entry fees for these tournaments can be as little as $2.00 or as high as $900.

Casino and Gaming Manager for Game Account, Andy Bell said Tournament Blackjack is a great opportunity for casino, poker and sportsbook operators, as they can generate revenues in increments from existing customers, as well as draw back former customers by offering them the exciting chance at playing the skill-based game. Tournament Blackjack is a great way for eGaming operators to make serious money fast.
