GAMEACCOUNT TO HOST 2007 ONLINE RUMMY WORLD CHAMPS

2 March 2007

"Thinking man's poker" can see millions of pounds sterling changing hands monthly

Kevin Dale, the CEO of UK skill games provider GameAccount.com has announced that the site will host the 2007 Online Rummy World Championship.

The card game that acted as a practice ground for legendary WSOP Champion Stu Ungar and was made famous by screen legend James Bond in the movie Goldfinger is set for a revival, says Dale. The game, that has been dubbed 'Thinking Man's Poker', is reportedly complex to play but so easy to learn that it can be quickly mastered.

GameAccount.com is the first global site to meet the needs of both amateur and professional gin players, having hosted over 100 million hands of gin rummy for stakes ranging from GBP1 to GBP1 000 per game. Every month, millions of pounds change hands between members of a growing community of keen gin players, the company claims.

The 2007 tournament will take place this summer, with the prize fund being announced over the next few weeks.

Dale says that serious card players are looking for a fresh new buzz or adrenalin rush that is similar but not identical to poker... "The 'Gin Rummy World Championship' will be a rewarding experience akin to other competitive online tournaments," he believes.
