Home History Games News Dictionary		One of the most well known – and well respected – brands in the internet gambling world is set to celebrate yet another significant milestone, as Poker Stars.com prepares to deal their 40 billionth hand of online poker. The numbers continue to creep up as the online casino prepares for the imminent event, expected by most to happen sometime this (February) month. The day will be marked with a celebration of cash and prize giveaways for players online at that time, with the biggest yet Sunday Million tournament to be increased to a guaranteed cash prize pool of $4 million. The pot being played on when the 40 billionth hand of internet poker is hit will be automatically doubled with players in action at the winning table receiving cash prizes just for their participation. And as exciting as the milestone will undoubtedly be for the online gambling company, their business side is reveling in a fascinating article published about the company in the world-recognized Forbes magazine. From a very humble start by a former IBM programmer named Isai Scheinberg, to the multi-billion dollar internet gambling conglomerate, Poker Stars has come a very long way indeed. Scheinberg launched a small software development company in Toronto years back, called PYR. While the mini-firm is still in existence, they serve to cater to Poker Stars’ needs, producing programming solutions for the now huge online poker family. The huge company operates officially out of the Isle of Man, and continuously updates their records for the most online gambling players using their site simultaneously, having been verified by the Guiness Book of World Records with 149,196 players.
