EURO SERIES OF POKER

European Poker Championship

Titan Poker, the largest European online casino poker room on the iPoker Network, is guaranteeing $3,500,000 in cash prizes in its second European poker Championship of Online Poker Series.

Staged in December 2007, the first ECOOP was a resounding success and awarded winners with more than $2,500,000 -- exceeding its guaranteed prize pools. However, with an additional million dollars already confirmed, the ECOOP II is certain to be even more exciting and lucrative for online poker enthusiasts across the globe.

ECOOP II will run for ten consecutive days, from the 23rd of May to the 1st of June. One ECOOP tournament will be staged each day and each event will award huge guaranteed prizes. The tournament series will conclude with a $1,500,000 Main Event on the 1st of June.

Titan Poker is already staging daily qualifier satellite tournaments. Buy-in to these satellites start at just $2 + $0.20, so players can potentially win a share of $3,500,000 for an investment of less than three dollars.

In addition to the huge cash prizes that Titan Poker players stand to win, winners of each event will also receive a special ECOOP bracelet, similar to the bracelets awarded at the World Series of Poker. As an extra bonus, the top 100 tournament players participating in the ECOOP events will be entered into a $50,000 Freeroll, to be staged 72 hours after the Main Event.

Titan Poker regularly awards its players with seats at the world's most well-known poker tournaments, such as the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, the Aussie Millions and various European Poker Tour events.

The craze and popularity of online casino gambling is not limited to the United States of America. It has gone on to build its own customer base in different countries in Switzerland, United Kingdom, Germany and more. Each of these countries has a host of casinos as stand-alone gambling venues and casinos operated out of hotels.

Ranking much above all of these in popularity is European Online Casinos (Euro online poker). European Online Casinos allow individuals to play their favorite casino games that are most popularly played in Europe.

What are different games played in European Online Casinos?

The casino games that are popular in Europe are slightly different from the ones played in United States of America. The popular games in European Online Casinos are as follows:

• Blackjack – The most popular versions of Blackjack played online are Blackjack Multi-hand, Blackjack Multi-split and Blackjack Single Split. In totality, Blackjack is one of the popular games played in European Online Casinos. The different variations to Blackjack indicate the difference in the way cards are dealt and played by players of this game. Playing any game of Blackjack would involve a high degree of skill and strategy coupled with luck.
The simple objective in this game is for the players to get the card total as close to 21. The player with the highest total less then 21 is declared the winner.
• Roulette – Named after the French word that means “small wheel”, Roulette is one of the popular and the easiest European Online Casino games. In Roulette, a ball is spun clockwise and anti-clockwise around the circumference of a wheel. Players need to place their bets on one of the 37 numbers on the circumference of the wheel. If the ball falls on the number placed by the individual, he is declared winner for the Roulette game.
• Baccarat – This is a game of conflicting origins with the disputed territories being France and Italy. Baccarat has three accepted and popular variations of the game – baccarat chemem de fer, baccarat banque, punto banco.

The Punto Banco variation of this game is entirely decided and played on luck with absolutely no skill or strategy required from the player. In the other games, high level of skill and strategy is required. One common thing between all the three games is that all of them are card games. Please note that the cards numbered 2-9 have face value while the others have zero face value.

European Online Casinos (Euro online poker) also have many players gambling on the traditional version of Poker, including Texas Hold’ em.

European Online Casinos are just as popular as their American counterparts. The only difference is in the ambience that plays these games. It is obvious that you will observe a difference in the playing audience between Las Vegas and Amsterdam. With change in audience, these games also warrant a change in their names and hence a minor twist in the rules as well.

Euro Online Casino Gambling

Author: david johnson

Some of these euro online casinos (Euro Online Casino Gambling) are extensions of the sporting books these companies had in operation for decades. Casinos like Intercasino and William Hill are examples of e casinos that operated as sporting book places before they went on the Net. Their reputations have preceded them before they even went live on the Internet.

One of the worries that players have voiced on the review sites of casinos is this; will my money be safe while in the trust of such and such an online gambling casino.

One caul says that the Euro casino (Euro Online Casino Gambling) passes this serious question with flying colors. Also some of the casinos that are based in other European countries also have very good reputations. Many show up very well in review sites that rate online casinos.

Most of the larger England casinos (Euro Online Casino Gambling) are full-scale casinos that offer all aspects of gaming on their online sites. At Intercasino for example you can play online poker, make sporting bets and try out all forms of casino gambling and do this all on one site.

Same thing is true at William Hill. Many of the other sites offer a wide selection of games, but may not be all things to all betters. Specialty bingo sites are a big area of England casino sites as bingo is extremely popular in Europe and this island colossus.

Unlike the USA, the people of England have long thought of gambling as a legitimate business and it is prevalent throughout the country. In the USA it is slowly spreading due to the land owned by many Indian Tribes and the tribes ability to have gaming on their land. So far these have only been live casinos.

Poker is as popular in Europe as it is in the rest of the world and the online sites from Europe show this with the large number of poker sites that are on the Internet. The same can be said for slot play as many online casino players only play slots and no other form of gaming.

Do not think that the Euro casinos are all the same and are all run on modern sties. This is not true and it shows up in some of the bingo sites that have not kept up with the times as to customer service and their less than fair withdrawal rules.

If this is your favorite form of gaming, check out the many bingo review sites and pick one that is repeated as a well run site on several of the review sites. If sports books and betting on sporting events or horse racing is your passion you have several old time casinos to bet with and feel comfortable doing business with the casino. Reputation is hard earned and many of the Europe casinos have earned their reputation by being above board in dealing with the public.
