What Backgammon needs to get it over is a major name player. Celebrities really drive Online Poker. Gus Hansen was a world champion backgammon player if I am not mistaken. I would love to see him rep for a Backgammon program. That would be very good for drawing poker players over to play with Gus and they just might get hooked on the game in the process.
Gus is allready presenting the backgammon tour by commentating at the tournaments.
The backgammon WBA tournament in Estoril, Portugal will start shortly. They have an expected payout of $1,000,000
