Poker is different, it requires critical thinking and many gamblers love this game because its also rewarding. Tournaments are already normal in any gambling site, this has become their marketing strategy to attract new players and of course to retain the loyal players.

all gambling game is rewarding lol ,
from poker to any card game., from Lotto to Dice game, from roulette to sports betting , all of those are rewarding lol.

Quote

If the reward is attractive, most probably many will join that competition, though I’m not sure if all the site will ask for the participation fee but if its none then better to join especially if you’re a poker player.

you have already said that all games are rewarding so of course this is attractive , there are even million or dollars that had been given away to all poker competition all these years.

Poker players love online tournaments because there are chances to earn big amounts with relative low investment. Wink

The spectators love to see these players battling it out, because the game is more based on skill.. and not so much on luck.

Also, Online poker tournament allows its players to compete for huge money from the comfort of their homes and the spectators are also watching them via live streaming from their homes. Cheesy

Watching someone battling it out against a Slot machine can become boring very quickly.... Roll Eyes

This is what makes poker so exciting to watch, watching someone playing against a machine or a computer is nowhere near as exciting as watching that person playing against another one, I do not know exactly why this is the case but it makes it way more interesting and it gives poker an edge over other gambling games, maybe slots are way more popular than poker but poker is way more interesting to watch as the plays some of the world experts can make are incredibly impressive when we take into account the money they are betting and the level of their opponents.

^ It is definitely right, playing against person to person are very interesting to watch and that is why there is a live tournament of this game because this is not only focused on luck but also you can increase your chances of winning by the ability of your skills. It seems boring to watch if you are against the house edge though there are some people doing it and having a live video still tournament makes us excited.
Base skills games usually have tournaments not unlike those based on luck games.

A lot of poker game tournaments have been announced on this board over time, and am I kind of wondering what makes poker games so inclined to the tournament and we don't see such competitions being announced for other games?

Because it is possible to run a tournament with poker and not with other popular games so casinos are doing it, there are lot of different kind of tournaments are happening somewhere related to sports and gambling so this isn't surprising. On the other hand poker got the structure for professionals to execute their skills and also the luck so everyone think they are better are high so the number of tournaments are also high.

Poker has always been very popular, I think that another tournament that can happen is with Black Jack, but I think that they mainly focus on poker because you can establish strategies to win and not everything is left to chance, because leave everything to chance I prefer to play slots which seems much more fun to me, however currently there are not many sites that do this type of tournaments and that emotion is experienced, in betnomi they are achieving good things doing poker tournaments, really It is very reliable, but more sites are needed where tournaments can be held at least once a day.

Poker tournament is popular and attractive because it is a pvp based game. Blackjack can be an alternative tournament but the basic mechanism of blackjack is against the house. Here in my country there are some other pvp cards games but most of this gambling games are played in real life. The card game called by Remi and I have experienced in Remi tournament although it was not using money as it was just for fun to celebrate Indonesian independence day in my village. I'm not sure if this remi game is also popular in other countries, but I think it can be a good alternative game for poker.

The truth is I didn't know that this game was popular in Indonesia, I understand that this Remi will be the same as the one called "Rumi" where I live? he consists of dealing 10 cards and putting together trios, strings, something like that, right? and what changes with the rounds? If a casino implements this type of game on their platforms, at least I will be hooked there and more if they do it or focus on PVP.

Another way to see Black Jack in PVP mode is like roulette in physical casinos, that is, they enter there and you can see the participation of other "real" users and thus gives them more emotion, it's like being in a casino physical but with the exception that it is digital (and I wish it existed with a personal Avatar and everything)

Because it attracts a lot of players who are skilled in poker and can beat the house and their fellow poker players, like all the other members' opinions here we are in one in saying that poker involves a lot of thinking and strategy, one strategy and skill is how to look at your opponent's face so you'll have an idea on the card he is holding and make the opponent feel that you have a good or bad card, these are the things that you cannot apply on other games in casinos.

I also had time to attend training in the type of Poker game, it had been quite a while but the basics I learned turned out to be related to body language, eye movements, facial expressions, and mental things. Whether it's true or not, but the more often I see poker players at the gambling table, the fact almost all of them do have intuition in reading what cards the opponent is holding. Not a few are interested in the game of poker because it is quite draining of the mind and mental when it is in front of the table.

This is a totally an off topic and low reply to the topic of discussion which is bordered around poker tournaments, and from the look of things this comment does not meet up with this thread.

Back to the topic, reason why poker is popular in series and tournament is for the fact that poker is a more engaging game and can accommodate multiple players who can play against each other of the system. Some other games host tournaments but not as fun and exciting as poker league.

I do think that it is highly because of the nature of the game itself.

Unlike other card games such as blackjack, etc., they fairly end quickly and the process is relatively simple compared to the techniques involved in poker. In addition, poker is one of those card games that mix luck, skill, and technique in order for you to win the game. Either you win due to the overwhelming card quality that you have on the pool, or because you bluffed the opponent even if your hand is bad.

Do you know how long the tournaments with low buy-in and high payouts last? Late registration is 12h sometimes... and after that, you can add min +3h (depending on the number of players/if there are available re-buys/etc) before the end! So count it around 15h, a crazy working day!

That's why Bitcointalk poker games were great! Without late registration and re-buys... approximately 3h per game! And when you add sponsored pool it was a low buy-in tournament with possible high rewards! It's hard to find something similar around... to not say impossible!

I can add that it is easier to play online tournaments. You can show your emotions and no one opponent can analyze you. It makes bluff much easier.
And i disagree with big wins without big investment. If you invest a little money you mostly have a long way to big wins. The same as in offline poker.

All the other games in casinos are based on luck I cannot imagine a tournament where luck will play a major factor in the tournament it just got to be poker because if you want to play poker against another player, you're battling on who has the better skills in determining each other card and hiding your card from your opponent, that is why we have what we call a poker face a strategy used by players to hide their emotion, having a poker face for a long period of time is already a skill.

That's not really the case when we talk about online poker sites...
I think there is one more reason why tournaments are popular (maybe for some group of people even more than cash games) - they last longer! With cash game (not even talking about other casino games, like roulette etc), you may be out very soon, with tournament (especially on big tables, as on 6 person table it goes pretty fast too) you may wait longer for your "lucky hand".

Poker is challenging mentally and physically I am not a serious poker player but all my friends who are very much into poker can testify that concentration and the level of skills you develop over the years of playing plays a crucial role in beating your opponent or the house, that is why we see tournaments in casinos and there are poker organizations for a poker tournament, there is little luck in poker that is why it is on the level of chess on sport category, I cannot think of other casino games that can surpass or even equal poker in making a tournament out of it.

I'd say it's because it's the most fun poker format. Tournaments attract a lot of people, and the more prize money the more people, like the lottery.

They have a format where you can play for a while when the blinds are small and then when the blinds get higher, it gets exciting: the aggression and people going all in.

It is usually more fun than other variants. For example, a table sit and go would be similar but on a very small scale. In a tournament, people usually play longer and there is more excitement.

Poker happen to be one of the most fun giving casino games that allow for groups involvement in rhe games and i believe that is the reason why the popularity of poker tournaments is more than other games and this will continue as long as the excitement continue and casinos willing to offer a prize for the winner.

The nature of poker leads it to the creation of tournaments, while other gambling games are interesting on their own right their lack of a direct confrontation against other players means that at best you can create some indirect competitions that are not as interesting as what we see in poker, in which you directly face against your opponents and you can win or lose against them, this aspect of poker makes it special among other gambling games and it is one of the reasons for its popularity.
