This is really good news. I have always had a fondness for the skill based gaming, far more in some ways to gambling. I like the feeling of being more in control of my own fate, and only having myself to blame when I lose I guess!

I will definitely be looking into this site. I love skill-based gaming like gin rummy and backgammon. Unfortunately, haven't had any real play for a long time as none of my friends play. I've never heard of multi-player blackjack but it sounds cool.

This does sound fun and a change from the average online gambling offered. Its a wonder people haven't though to offer it before. It should attract a new type of player to the table as well since there is more emphasis on the player not the luck of the draw.
