Five of the players earned their qualification through the Company's flagship website, www.tigergaming.com while the other three players originated from the Company's licensee's whose customers all flow into, and benefit from, the Action Poker Network.
President and CEO, Jake Kalpakian states, "Not only are our own players from www.tigergaming.com enjoying our games and tournament structures, but so too are our licensee's customers. As a result, the Company's APN is benefiting from increasing traffic. As such, we are continuing to increase our tournament promotions. To this extent, the Company has just again successfully launched another World Poker Tour promotion for the WPT event to be held this coming December at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada." This increased traffic, as a result of these new promotions is enabling the Company to plan to sponsor its own "Signature" land based tournaments in the future where players can again qualify through the Company's APN.
Presently, players can enjoy hours of entertainment at minimal cost while trying to qualify for WPT and other competing poker tour prize packages. Through the Action Poker Network, the Company's tournaments offer the best entertainment value on the Web today. For more information on how to qualify, please visit www.tigergaming.com.
