Online Poker Players Expected To Increase In Asia Due To New Film Release

It would seem that Asia is about to go poker crazy as a new film has just premiered in Hong Kong that is sure to take the picture houses by storm. Texas Hold’em Poker already seems to be seeing a worldwide increase in competitors and is bound to increase its popularity 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 movie was filmed in the world famous Asian casino capital of Macau and has already caused a stir when hundreds of players arrived at the city during the APT Macau Festival last August while the film was being shot. The film was not short of willing extras as it would appear that poker players arrived just to see if they could get a place on set to star in the movie.
Texas Hold‘em has already seen an increase in popularity thanks to the world of online gaming where players can compete from all over 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
