Jay King, founder of the PDA, promises plenty of action, fast paced playing and big mouth talkin! The event is sponsored by Pit Bull Energy Drink, Fundex Games and Billet Bones & Rock Players.

Already cited in Forbes Magazine as the leader of this craze, the Professional Domino Association is embarking on an unprecedented 12-city tour. With a $30,000 purse as prize in each city and a grand prize total of $150,000 at the Championship tourney, there are also plans underway for a television series.

As noted in Los Angeles Magazine, "King's strategy is to reposition dominoes as a TV-worthy sport blending the bravado of the NBA with the strategy of chess."

Offers King, a music industry veteran turned gaming enthusiast, "We're about to trump Texas Hold "Em!" What we are doing is creating an industry here. Dominoes are to gaming what hip hop is to music. It's a billion dollar industry waiting to happen!"
