Why invite the boys over for a poker night, and stink up your house with cigars, and have them drink all of your bear? Why indeed, when you can play poker online, for real money? I consider myself to be a relatively “lucky” person as far as winning prizes and cash (I’m the type that puts $1 into the slots and wins $100), so I’m excited to tell you about how the big backgammon site, BackgammonMasters.com has added poker (play for real money!) to it’s lineup of great games. Right now, for a limited time, you can play without paying the house commission. If you’ve never seen the site before, it’s a really neat gaming environment. They’ve got sounds and realistic 3D avatars and you can play poker at 3 game tables at once. Of course, you can still play backgammon too! And did you know that new players can also play games for free? It’s true - just choose fun mode, and you can learn and practice all of the games available at the site without losing (or winning) a cent. You can also play Perudo (a dice game popular in Latin American countries) and interact with other players in real time chat. And lots more new games are coming soon!

It’s a geek dream. Playing at home, making money (or losing a bit), all from the comfort of your PC.
