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.
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.
Topic: Poker tournaments why tournaments in other games - page 9. (Read 2122 times)
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.
Popularity and the demand is the reason why there’s a lot of tournament though this will still depend on the site, since they all have their own marketing strategy. You can also see tournament or contest in slots game the site just need to set-up the target multiplier. A lot of slots contest in games and round section where the top site hosting the games, especially on hitting the highest multiplier if you have extra money and want that extra challenge, you can also participate on that tournament and maybe if you are lucky enough, you might be one of the winner. 
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?
To me the answer is very simple, in other gambling games you are playing against the house and not against other players so in a way you are playing against a faceless entity and it is very impersonal, however when it comes to poker you are playing against other players and if you happen to have a big win you will remember the username of the one you beat, on the other side of the coin if you lose an important hand you will remember the one that beat you and you will want to settle the score if you have the opportunity, so as you can see poker is a lot more personal which allows you to develop rivalries and this makes the game way more interesting for everyone. 
In general, I guess it is primarily the game mechanics of poker that make it a good game for tournaments. Of course, I am referring to Texas Hold 'em because it is the most popular poker game and that's probably the kind of poker game which tournaments are organized here.
The good thing about poker is that luck does not determine everything that happens in the game. So everybody could maneuver each other regardless of their hands.
Aside from that, it's easy to play and be learned and that's why more poker players are coming into this gambling game because it's for everyone.The good thing about poker is that luck does not determine everything that happens in the game. So everybody could maneuver each other regardless of their hands.
Unlike other games, poker is not simply a battle of what cards you've got.
True.Because you can apply all of those tricks that you've got like bluffing even if you've got the weakest card in the table.

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.

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 depending on the variant is quite complex to play but the best known version is NLH, it is said that it only takes a few minutes to learn to play but a lifetime to master.
The poker is profitable at long way, you cannot measure yourself in the short term, for those who play cash with about 100 thousand hands you can see how your profits are going for those who have patience a million of hands would be a good measure to know if you're a winner in that period, but maybe a million other hands things will change, so you make adjustments.
That is why poker requires constant learning, reviewing your game, skills come from continuous learning from your mistakes and your successes.
That's why you measure yourself in the long term.
Good points ops, the truth is poker gives the player the chance to use many features such as refill during the game, that is if a player's balance gets exhausted while playing the game the player can refill and continue playing that doesn't happen most of the time with other games, and that is one of the major reason why poker become the favorites in tournaments and series. Is poker the most popular gambling game, I don't think so.

If you take a look at all the poker series we have put together over the past years you'll see the interest level was not nearly what I feel it could have and should have been. All the series were a fairly small buyin with a fairly large possible payout. Very EV+ but most users seem to be only looking for freebies where they have to risk 0.
All of the previous series have been no limit texas hold em which is probably 1 of the most popular games of poker played. Really it depends on the decade you grew up as stud was a popular game in the 1970s-1990s, but once no limit holdem started growing it got huge. That is why all the series were geared around that game. If we tried to make a series of razz or badeucy we would probably not gotten more then 5-10 weekly players.
I personally love omaha hi as the pots get huge, but you need a large bankroll to play that consistently.

In addition to participating, you were involved in the organization of those tournaments... which is not easy and simple at all, as we have concluded many times! With sponsored games buyin was small, and possible payouts high!
With Texas, we drop to 10 players after a few weeks... with razz or badeucy I don't think we would have enough players for 1 table, and after a week or two we would have a max of 3-5 players! Hard truth...

If you love to join tournaments dedicated to gambling, poker is the best ever even if you are a beginner, you can develop your skill over time to become a professional player. As for joining the games that depend on luck, I don't think it will be as entertaining as poker and sports betting.
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?
I was also one of the fans of poker gambling, although I am now more inclined to sports betting, but I can't forget the impression while playing poker.Talking about tournaments, poker is indeed one of the best elements to promote poker through tournaments than other games, such as slots, dice and so on.
The reason:
• Hobbies, comfort, easy betting at the table, interests, the main factors of online poker being the choice of many men.
• Every game offered by online gambling sites is diverse, online poker can be an option for gamblers to play in groups, if they are tired of doing it individually, This is a method to overcome boredom in gambling, so it's no wonder that poker tournaments have so many fans.
• bonuses, online poker games also serve many features that can make users win in minutes.
What I said above, maybe you already understand, about the many poker tournaments here, the bottom line: online poker fans are bigger than any other game.

Because it is one of the gambling games which player can fight against player directly and there's a lot of possible interaction on this game compared to other games such as Blackjack, Baccarat, Slots and other gambling games. The only tournament that can be applied on other games is just wagering tournament which is not interesting to join because whales usually dominates this kind of tournament.
If you are interested on different games tournament, Your best chance is to join sports betting like this one https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetios-premier-league-prediction-sign-up-00025-to-join-03-in-prizes-5405399 which is sponsored by sportsbet.io with just a minimal entry fee to win such a huge jackpot prize.
Yes, It’s a premiere league prediction tournament style. You will need to register on superbru which the link is available on the thread. It’s a point system prediction tournament and you can read the discussion in that thread to see what’s the final points system for the tournament.
I’m planning to join there too, I’m just still trying to fully understand football and team statistics before I commit on joining.
Well because perhaps the reason is playing offline and online poker games are almost the same --though you cannot bluff your opponent online still the concept of the game were still there that you can enjoy. There are other games aside from poker but I think the excitement and thrill were not there. So usually, a poker game will be the best choice because also you can increase your luck by picking a card.
A gambling casino that offers player-to-player games will usually have this tournament like chess or other card games that can be used as a tournament.
