Increasing Number of Online Poker Players

The online gambling industry continues to grow steadily, more specifically because of the high number of female players joining the band wagon. Probably the idea of men who sit smoking a cigar with a readily accessible beer around a table lingers in most people's minds if the word Poker is mentioned. But now it looks like things have gone up a bit different and the game is continuously strengthened in the present time by women compete and gamble at the table and even playing poker online. In fact, many of them are superior even to the men and sometimes they are getting hooked up in the table overthrowing the majority. Gone are the days where women are being discriminated and thought to be inferior as compared to men. Women are now starting to adapt to the things that the male gender is capable of doing.

Most of the female players that are already known and received an overwhelming amount of fame include, for example, Annette Obrestad a Norwegian Poker Player which became the youngest person to ever win a World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) bracelet. Also we have Jennifer Harman who started playing poker at the age of eight. Harman won her first World Series of Poker bracelet in 2000 at the prestigious No Limit Deuce to Seven Lowball Event. Lastly we have Vanessa Ruosso which known by her fans online by the screen name Lady Maverick, has been earning big money as a professional poker player since 2005. All of these became poker icons because of their talents, and of course, because of their good looks especially when they appear in the front pages of poker magazines.

Poker Players Research claimed in a recent study on the online poker market, that the number will rise dramatically for women playing poker in the coming years. Within two years or so, it is in the study that the proportion of women playing poker will raise to about a third. The greatest tournaments in the world, such as the World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker conducted their "ladies offered only" tournaments because they know exactly where the market is controlled at the moment. The online poker rooms are starting to market their games specifically for women and the increasing profile poker players.

Poker sites are now watching the online bingo in more details, as these are some of the factors that attracted the ladies and made them very successful. Researchers are looking forward to getting higher percentage in the coming years and one day, they can say with certainty that the combination of online bingo and online poker in the future for online gaming will show deals that will be marketed for women, more than ever.
