Enter for a chance to win a seat at the World Series of Blackjack
New Blackjack Area offers players the exclusive opportunity to enter for a chance to win a seat at the World Series of Blackjack Tournament featuring a million-dollar prize pool.
AOL has partnered with GSN, the Network for Games, to create a new blackjack area. Coming in April, the new blackjack hub will offer free Blackjack game play, tips from the pros and - during the show's airing in June - exclusive behind-the-scenes video content from GSN's "World Series of Blackjack" TV show. In addition, Blackjack fans can visit blackjack beginning January 19 to enter for a chance to win a seat on the GSN television series "World Series of Blackjack" and compete for the million dollars at stake.
"The World Series of Blackjack" will consist of 13 one-hour weekly episodes which will begin airing in June on GSN. As part of the partnership, GSN will direct viewers of "World Series of Blackjack" and its "Casino Night" programming on Monday nights to the new Blackjack area on AOL. The "World Series of Blackjack" program will also be promoted across relevant sites on the AOL network including AOL Games, AOL Television, AOL Vegas and more.
January 19 through February 8, Blackjack fans can visit blackjack to enter for a chance to win one of eight-day/seven-night trips to Las Vegas where the winners will play in a qualifying Blackjack tournament taped exclusively for AOL. The two finalists of this qualifying tournament will be among 40 players competing for a piece of the million-dollar prize pool at the "World Series of Blackjack" at the Las Vegas Hilton. The grand-prize winner receives $500,000 and all 40 players will be compensated. AOL-selected participants will be prominently featured on the "World Series of Blackjack" program, appearing on one to four episodes depending on their performance, and will be profiled in player background segments. GSN will also provide exclusive footage to AOL featuring the "Vegas experience" of the AOL players.
In addition to the "World Series of Blackjack" promotion, GSN's online & interactive TV games such as Lingo, Ballbreakers and others will be made available on AOL Games.
"Casino games such as blackjack and poker have become wildly popular among mainstream audiences and that trend is reflected on AOL Games", said Ralph Rivera, Vice President and General Manager, AOL Games. "AOL is excited to join forces with GSN to give blackjack fans fun exclusive content and unique community interaction, as well as the only online resource where they have a chance to win a seat at the World Series of Blackjack".
"This is a great partnership with AOL to provide their winners with a chance to compete in the first and only Blackjack tournament on television", said Dena Kaplan, Senior Vice President of Marketing, GSN. "As GSN is the leader of interactive TV games, it makes perfect sense to join forces with AOL to promote the World Series of Blackjack on their robust game site".
In addition to its new Blackjack area, AOL recently partnered with Harrah's Entertainment to create a "World Series of Poker" hub, which features free poker games for players of every skill level, and opportunities for players to win a seat at "World Series of Poker" events. AOL also recently launched "AOL Vegas", a new Las Vegas destination dedicated to all things in Vegas from casino games, travel planning to original programming.
