TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 2, 2001
The stakes are high in the first global wireless blackjack championship, launched late last week by AC&G Software Ltd.
Players can download the game from the official BlackJack World Championship site, http://www.blackjackchamp.com, and play against each other for free on their Palm Pilots or Palm OS compatible PDA devices, vying for the monthly grand prize of $10,000 cash.
The championship, developed and organized by AC&G Software Ltd., is the first to be created specifically for multiple players on a wireless platform. Players downloading the game to their handheld PCs are credited $500 in fun money. The more money a player wins in any given month, the better his or her chances of winning the $10,000 grand prize or any of several smaller prizes, including a big-screen television, a trip to Las Vegas, or casino chips.
As players accumulate money, they enter their scores on the BlackJack World Championship site scoreboard. The board is updated each day at 4:00 p.m. EDT.
BlackJack World Championship is completely advertising supported, enabling players to download and play the game for free. The site offers both free and paid sponsorship opportunities; online casino startup ElephantCasino.com (http://www.elephantcasino.com) is the game's initial sponsor. Free sponsors support the event by recruiting new players in return for valuable adveritising space.
Those interested in downloading the game and participating in the tournament should log on to the BlackJack World Championship site at http://www.blackjackchamp.com. Competition cycles begin on the first day of each month, but new players may join at any time.
