New Asia Film Release Boosts Online Poker Players Who Benefit from Rakeback

Asia, it would seem is about to go poker crazy as a new movie has just premiered in Hong Kong that is bound to take the cinemas by storm. Already Texas Hold’em Poker is seeing a gain in worldwide players and is bound to get far more players once the movie is officially released.

The story is about two poker playing rivals from Asia who are competing for the same title in a competition.

The film was shot in the well known Asian casino capital of Macau and already it has caused quite a stir due to the number of players arriving in the city during the APT Macau Festival last August while the film was being shot. The film was not short of willing extras as poker players arrived and flocked to get a place on set to be in the movie.

Online gaming and in particular Texas Hold’em has seen an increase in popularity due to the fact that so many people can now compete all around the globe. It would now seem that it is going to have a huge impact on the poker scene not only in Hong Kong, but other Asian cities as well.

The premier of the film was packed with a star studded audience and the stars of the film Lau Ching-Wan and Louis Koo also turned out for the evening. Actor Louis Koo said, “This game is very popular in the West. It seems it is only now just starting to develop in Asia. New skills and mannerisms had to be picked up from players outside of Hong Kong.”

It will be brilliant when this movie is released in the West so we have the chance to watch it. It will definitely be interesting to see how the game is perceived by players in the East as it is still fairly new 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.
