India’s fastest growing online poker website 9stacks.com has just launched Vegas in Rs 2. With entry fees as low as Rs 2, this contest follows a typical tournament league format, where participants have to cross 5 simple levels to win a trip to Las Vegas (USA) worth Rs 2 lakhs.

Participants can enter through a number of tournaments happening round the clock on the website, with bite sized entry fees of only Rs 2 / Rs 5 / Rs 10.

Focussed primarily on amateur online poker players, 9stacks has been generating a true poker boom across India by taking poker to new markets across the country, from tier 1 cities to tier 3 towns.

The winners will get to experience the poker capital of the world Las Vegas, first hand, during the 50th Anniversary edition of the World Series of Poker (WSOP), the world’s largest poker festival. 9stacks will fund flights, visa fees and accommodation for winners.
