A new Reality television series is being introduced by the Emmy award winning American talk show host Montel Williams. He will be introducing the International Team Poker League to viewers in November.
Williams is known as a poker buff, and he is calling attention to the online industry through the new television series which is yet another reminder of how online regulations are needed in the US.
Montel Williams stated…
''I love poker. It's a game that has everything, played by kings and leaders and regular Joes alike. It crosses boundaries and borders, now, thanks to technology and the Internet, a global phenomenon that brings people of different ethnicities and origin together around the world. It is truly international, and the time is right for the International Team Poker League to take poker to a new level and a wider audience,"
Williams acknowledges that his series was made possible through the advancement of poker on the Internet. While there still exists that arguments as to whether poker is a game of luck or skill, it is becoming clearer as to which way the law looks at the game.
A recent ruling by a judge in Pennsylvania was that poker was a game of skill. The judge went on to set a precedent that will be used in other poker cases and debates around the country.
Part of Williams' new show will take place on the Internet. Online satellite tournaments will be held online and at land based casinos for the poker series. The show will run much like a conventional talent show.
Once the satellite tournaments are complete, all of the winners will be brought to a Las Vegas casino and be placed on different teams. Those teams will then play one battle royal type final table to become the ITPL champions of this year.
The winning team will receive more perks that just the title. They will also be taped playing pros and living the poker lifestyle. The remote gambling industry is being targeted by Williams for sponsorship of the new show.
