Online No Limit Texas Hold 'Em is a hot commodity on the Web, in part thanks to WagerLogic software. All poker properties feed into one central room, meaning there are always tables ready. The Caribbean Poker Classic^TM is WagerLogic licensees' first foray into land-based tournament poker.

"With the Caribbean Poker Classic^TM, licensees offer their players a world-class, flagship event filled with fun, sun and big money action," says A.J. Slivinski, WagerLogic's Managing Director.
