Backgammon, perhaps one of the oldest games played on the web – already started ‘real time’ in 1992 – might be a bit of a boring game these days. I must say I’ve played it a couple of times using Microsofts fantastic MSN Games thing, and I didn’t quite like it; too much randomness involved.

However, with the good old internet hype – online gambling – backgammon also seems to win in popularity. One of these sites is BackgammonMasters, which I linked to above here, is trying to make it more ‘cool’ and trendy as a gambling game. I think it could work out pretty well; at least backgammon has ’some’ strategy involved, rather than plain ‘luck’ with blackjack or the always a bit unclear fruit machines.
