The recent Global Interactive Gaming Summit & Expo (GIGSE) has brought with it some real good news for all the online backgammon fans out there. Cyberarts, a leading online gambling software developer, announced the introduction of a new backgammon product. The company, which was established in 1995 by some Silicon Valley programmers, provides high-quality games of skill over the Internet and is responsible for some of the most popular online backgammon games of all time, including the “GamesGrid Backgammon”. In addition, it has been known over the years for its outstanding poker software.

Among other things, the new package will feature several variations of backgammon, including nackgammon, hypergammon and chouette. For those of you who are not familiar with those, chouette is a variant of backgammon for three or more players. Being a fast-paced game, it is ideal for online gambling play, making it very popular among Internet players. Nackgammon, at the other hand, is a variation of the game where each player starts with two additional backcheckers, while in hypergammon players have only three checkers on the board.

“Chouette is the most popular and social form of backgammon in real life. Many avid players have been asking for an online version for years and that’s why we decided to give them exactly that” says Ken Arnold, chairman of the company. There’s no doubt that these are really exciting news for all the backgammon fans, as from now on they will be able to play their favorite variations of the game at their favorite online gambling site.
