FIVE CARDS HAVE NEVER BEEN WORTH MORE
Noble Poker is staging THE WORLD'S MOST EXCITING FREEROLL. In addition to the $500,000 in Guaranteed Prizes at this tournament, one player has the chance of going home with the largest prize ever awarded in any sport - $100,000,000! And it all depends on the five cards that player is holding.

The $100,000,000 Jackpot Prize is re-insured by National Indemnity Company, which is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRKA) – one of the world's biggest insurance companies. With such a secure backing for this unprecedented prize, you can rest assured that payment will be paid if any player holds the qualifying five cards.

One amazing tournament + one final table in a secret location + one Royal Flush of Spades = $100,000,000!

And you can get a chance to play this amazing tournament – ABSOLUTELY FREE.

Noble Poker will host two Daily Freeroll Qualifiers awarding five seats each at our upcoming $500,000 Online Final Freeroll, which will be staged on Saturday, April 30, 2006. When the Online Final Freeroll narrows down to ten final players, the action will be suspended. The Final Table will be held in a secret location in May, 2006, and it will be at this amazing Final Table that one player will have the chance to win the $100,000,000 Hand.

How can a player win the $100,000,000 prize?
During the Final Table action, if one of the players will hit a Royal Flush of Spades, he will win the $100,000,000 Grand Prize! And that's not all…if any player comes close to hitting the Royal Flush, he'll also go home a millionaire!

Other types of online gambling sites were launched significantly before the first online poker room. Online sportsbooks sprouted in the mid 90's. The mid 90's also witnessed the launch of online casinos. For example, Microgaming, a major online casino software supplier, developed its first operational online casino in 1994. 1

It was not until 1998 that the first online poker room was established. Planet Poker, which has since become a relatively small poker room, enjoyed the status as the sole online poker firm for a short period of time. While Planet Poker has since been overtaken by many other online poker rooms, the initial rake structure it set, 5% up to a $3 max rake, has been mirrored by other poker rooms. So while the industry has drastically changed since 1998, the rake structure has remained fairly constant.

Other online poker rooms soon entered the fray. Paradise Poker was established in 1999 and would soon become the industry leader. During this initial period of entry, the infamous case of Poker Spot occurred. Poker Spot was an online poker firm founded by Dutch Boyd, a successful poker player.

Poker Spot was launched in May 2000. In September of that year, it would become the first online poker room to offer tournaments. However, troubles soon plagued Poker Spot. According to Dutch Boyd, it was unable to collect player deposits from its credit card processing firm. Essentially, all of the money players deposited and played with was not in the system, so Poker Spot was unable to pay its players their winnings. The firm soon went under. 2

An incident like the Poker Spot case has so far not been repeated by any major online poker room. This is largely the result of the emergence of e-cash. In particular, Neteller has become the dominant funds transfer service for the online poker industry. Neteller has appeal for both users and online poker firms. For users, it allows them to deposit at a poker room without a credit card or wire transfer, and it also allows the user to generally receive quicker withdrawals. The online poker rooms like Neteller because it decreases fraud and has relatively modest fees for them.

It was not until 2001 that the two most dominant online poker firms entered the industry. Poker Stars became a popular destination because of its tournaments, and Party Poker made a splash in the industry.
