Online
casinos
players
know
how
popular
backgammon
is
getting
at
online
casinos
around
the
world.
With
that
in
mind,
many
online
casino
players
are
keeping
there
eyes
on
the
backgammon
championships
that
are
taking
place
around
the
world
these
days.
To
see
who
is
winning
is
just
part
of
the
allure
when
covering
backgammon
tourneys.
The
exotic
locals
are
another
reason
to
be
in
tune
with
these
events.
Online
casinos
are
starting
to
get
in
line
with
backgammon
fans
by
offering
new
games
at
online
casinos.
In
Monte
Carlo,
one
backgammon
player
was
just
crowned
a
winner
in
the
main
event
championship.
The
31st
World
Backgammon
Championship
finished
with
an
exciting
final
last
Sunday.
The
event
took
place
at
the
Fairmont
Luxury
Resort
in
Monte
Carlo.
Online
casinos
and
online
gambling
fans
will
be
excited
to
hear
that
the
two
finalists
were
Luigi
Villa
from
Italy
and
Philip
Vischjager
from
the
Netherlands.
Villa
was
the
first
World
Backgammon
Champion
back
in
1979.
Showing
he
still
has
what
it
takes,
Villa
came
back
in
style
by
playing
in
the
final
of
the
same
event
27
years
later.
The
drama
that
our
online
gambling
news
fans
out
there
will
enjoy
hearing
about
here
is
that
this
was
as
seriously
close
match.
Vischjager
was
leading
the
backgammon
match
through
and
through
until
anxiety
took
over
and
Villa
caught
up
in
19-19/25
after
reaching
four
hours
of
game-play.
After
that,
Vischjager
finally
won
the
event
by
walking
away
€
75,000
richer.
This
event
attracted
335
backgammon
players,
some
of
them
where
online
casino
backgammon
players.
As
we
already
mentioned
to
our
online
casino
news
fans
out
there,
part
of
the
attraction
to
these
events
is
more
than
just
the
game
itself
–
it’s
the
locations
around
the
world
in
which
they
take
place.
The
Fairmont
luxury
resort
is
nestled
in
the
wealthy
Principality
of
Monte
Carlo
on
the
beautiful
Riviera.
This
venue
has
hosted
the
event
for
the
past
thirty
years.
The
2006
World
Backgammon
Championship
was
taped
and
will
be
available
to
diehard
fans
who
want
to
see
the
action
first
hand.
Think
of
the
video
as a
great
learning
tool
for
you
online
casino
backgammon
players
out
there.
The
4
hour
taped
version
of
the
tourney
will
be
produced
by
IEC
in
Sports.
This
is a
Swedish-based
TV
division
agency
who
will
also
allocate
the
highlight
package
worldwide
in
September
and
so
on.
With
online
backgammon
creeping
onto
the
online
casinos
scene,
we
will
no
doubt
find
ourselves
hearing
about
and
covering
more
backgammon
events
such
as
the
one
that
is
getting
ready
to
start
at
the
Atlantis
Resort
in
the
Bahamas.
