 Poker Craze Sweeping The Internet
It is also becoming much more popular with the younger generation, with many people starting to play poker for lunch money at school. It is a very accessible game as all that's involved is a pack of cards and some chips. It can practically be played anywhere, and is a great game to play with friends. Many young and old people these days have poker nights at their homes instead of heading out. This new poker craze is obviously benefiting the economy in many ways. Even people who play poker in their own homes will be contributing to the economy. If everyone puts in $20 into the pot at the beginning of a game, and one person wins and leaves with an $80 win, they will most likely spend that money on something they would have otherwise not bought – hence pumping the money straight back into the economy.  |
