One of the \u201cfounding fathers\u201d of the online casino industry will soon reach a momentous milestone.\u00a0Bodog.net, the online gaming site launched in 1994, will soon deal its billionth (1,000,000,000)\u00a0online blackjack<\/a>\u00a0hand.\u00a0At its current pace, the milestone hand will be dealt in the next thirty to forty-five days.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Bodog brand has been widely recognized among the longest-lasting entities in the online gaming industry.\u00a0The company also has a successful sports betting site and a leading\u00a0online poker<\/a>\u00a0site.\u00a0Bodog also previously established both a recording label (Bodog Music) and a mixed martial arts promotion (bodogFight).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At press time, the site was more than twenty-one million hands away from dealing the major milestone hand.\u00a0Once the site reaches twenty-one million hands away from one billion, Bodog will reward its customers by giving US$1,000 to every player who plays in every millionth hand.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Players in those hands will also be entered into a drawing for a \u201cbillionaire\u2019s experience\u201d. The winner of the billionth hand will also win the \u201cbillionaire\u2019s experience\u201d.\u00a0Winners will choose between a trip to the 2011 Monaco Grand Prix auto race or a vacation on the South Pacific island of Fiji.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The \u201cbillionaire\u2019s experience\u201d theme stems from the life of Bodog founder Calvin Ayre, the Canadian pioneer of the online gaming field.\u00a0Ayre and his partners founded Bodog in 1994 with only US$10,000.\u00a0Today, Ayre\u2019s net worth is estimated at over US$1 billion.\u00a0Ayre retired from Bodog in April 2008, a month before his 47th birthday.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
