Casino Skill Games Festival with £10,000 Guaranteed

William Hill’s online casino is staging a number of skill games tournaments throughout December, for players of Dominoes, Backgammon, Gin Rummy, Poker Dice and Blackjack. The first tournament in this Winter Skill Festival begins at 19:00 GMT on Wednesday 8th December.

The leading British casino and bookmaker are putting up a total prize pool of £10,000 for their “Winter Skills” tournaments, as each of the five events has a guaranteed prize fund of £2,000. The buy ins for the skill game tournaments start from just £2.50 and are straightforward to play and easy to enter, so there is no excuse not to get involved with this excellent William Hill promotion

The “William Hill Winter Skills Festival”, as the tournaments are being dubbed, gets underway at 19:00 GMT on Wednesday 8th December, with a £2.50 Poker Dice tournament. Two hours later, the Dominoes tournament begins, also priced at £2.50 to enter.

Backgammon and Gin Rummy begin on Thursday 9th December and the Blackjack tournament kicks off on Friday 10th December. All three of these tournaments begin with a £2.50 buy-in too.

There are four “Quarter Final” tournaments per skill game and the top 16 players in each of these tournaments progress to the next round. Those unfortunate players who don’t qualify will be able to buy directly into the next round for £10, though each tournament round will be capped at 128 players.

Each event in the William Hill Winter Skills Festival features two Semi Final stages and once again, the top 16 from each will progress to the Grand Final, where the remaining places can be purchased for £40, with each individual Grand Final capped at 64 participants.

Players finishing 1st and 2nd in the five Winter Skills Grand Finals will receive a free entry into the William Hill Skill Grandmaster Finals, which are due to take place on January 6th 2011, in addition to their share of the prize pool.

Players can only take one seat in any particular skill game round and players arriving more than two minutes after the scheduled tournament start time will forfeit their match, so make sure you arrive promptly!

Tony Kenny, a spokesperson for William Hill’s online casino operations said, “We’re really excited about the Winter Skills tournaments and the Grandmaster series”, adding, “There are some great prizes up for grabs, but the bragging rights for being crowned Grandmaster is something money cannot buy”.

Blackjack Side Bets
When playing Blackjack – either online or live – there are a number of side bets that you might like to take advantage of. You can back or lay other players to win and lose, there are opportunities for you to pick which hand(s) you believe will get Blackjack, and in some instances you can even put your money on the dealer! In fact; it is hard to think of a Blackjack bet that is still to be conceived.

Video Poker for the Intelligent Beginner
When looking for a video poker training and advice guide, it is essential that you pick a current or recent book, as slot machines and video games tend to evolve every couple of years, and by purchasing a book written in (say) 2005, you are not getting the up-to-date information. Here we have a look at "Video Poker for the Intelligent Beginner" by Bob Dancer.

Roulette Systems - The Truth
Have you ever seen those adverts promising you a guaranteed way to beat the casino's roulette tables? Or maybe you just have a friend who claims he's discovered a way to win? There are plenty of people who think they have found a way to win at roulette, but the casinos continue to do business - why is that?

Blackjack Tournament Tips
Blackjack Tournaments are becoming a more frequent addition to programs run by live casinos and the virtual ones online.
