NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- GameColony.com, an Internet provider of multi-player skill-based tournaments, announced today the launch of a Monthly Progressive Tournament in Solitaire. The Monthly Progressive Tournament, set to kick off this month, guarantees $1,000 in prizes as a minimum payout and the total prize pot is expected to grow further as more players join in for the $1 entry fee.
GameColony.com President and CEO Leonard Shneyderman stated, "GameColony has replicated the real-world tournament-playing environment, creating a community where users from all over the world can compete with each other to win cash. Since our launch in 2000, we have expanded our operation dramatically with new game offerings and have already awarded over $1,000,000 in prize money to players."
Thanks in part to being a staple on Microsoft Windows, Solitaire quickly became one of the most played games in the world and our most popular competitive game. To celebrate our growth, this January we will be offering a $1,000 guaranteed prize tournament with only a $1 Entry Fee! Our Progressive Tournaments involve an unlimited number of participants and end at a pre-set time. The Jackpot rises as each player enters the tournament -- the more players join, the bigger the prize.
Yahoo!, MSN and AOL have offered free, no prize, multiplayer games for years. Now it's time to visit the fastest growing Site on the Net where winners get paid based on their skill at playing their favorite games. Scores of amateur Solitaire players can now put their years of practice towards a cash pay off.
Shneyderman commented, "We employ a number of proprietary algorithms to significantly enhance the overall skill component of our classic games and provide the highest level of security available on the Internet. Our games were developed with the latest Java technology, which allows players to launch them from most Internet browsers in just a few seconds."
At GameColony.com, skill-based games are conducted in a secure environment on a 24/7 basis. GameColony.com acts as an independent tournament host and leaves the outcome of every game in the players' hands. Participants never play against 'the house' and there's always a winner based on one's skilled performance.
