November 5 - As poker becomes increasingly popular in South Africa thanks to
increased accessibility to online poker rooms and more televised poker
tournaments than ever before, so too are the number of venues that offer land poker tournaments such as
Gold Reef Casino.
This leading Johannesburg-based casino and entertainment complex has now become a
haven for poker lovers with its regular no-limit Texas Hold'em poker tournaments
that it hosts roughly every six weeks, with highly lucrative prizes on
offer for relatively small buy-ins.
To take part in a Gold Reef Casino poker tournament usually costs players around
R3000 for a seat, a reasonable amount compared with many other Southern African
poker tournaments that can cost players up to R20 000 for a seat.
A recent Gold Reef Casino poker tournament with a R3000 buy-in attracted a
respectable field of 150 players who competed for an impressive R1.1 million
prize pool, with the first place finisher going home with a hefty cheque for
R235 000.
By offering poker tournaments with lower buy-ins, Gold Reef Casino attracts many
amateur poker players that may not be able to afford the higher buy-ins asked of
other tournaments, giving them an opportunity to hone their poker skills for a
relatively low cost.
As such, Gold Reef Casino poker tournaments are proving to be
an
excellent poker 'training ground' for a new generation of South African poker players who are
only to eager to test their poker prowess and talents against players with far
more experience.
