Online Poker Room Offers American Themed Event

When the pressure turned up on online poker rooms in recent weeks, thanks to the bill that has just became law calling for banks to block online gambling transactions, many poker rooms announced that they will soon be leaving the US market. Perhaps as a way to smooth things over with their US customers, which typically make up some eighty percent of the players online, rooms such as Pacific Poker are offering American-themed events. Pacific Poker is hosting the Great American 50 Stars event, where fifty prizes are up for grabs, including the use of a Corvette. The literature for the event says the number of prizes was chosen to represent "one for every star on the great American flag".
