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!"
