LAS VEGAS–Actually, I kinda like the name \”Dartiste\” — but that\’s not really relevant right now. What is relevant is that darts is a great game, and while I don\’t see it ever growing into \”the next poker,\” I do see it growing into something culturally special.
In fact, can\’t believe I missed it, but just a few days ago at the Mandalay Bay was the PartyPoker.net Las Vegas Desert Classic. PartyPoker … darts … Las Vegas … very interesting.
All the right elements (and mechanisms) seem to be in place — the websites, the TV coverage, the anybody-can-play factor … could a new steel-tip scoring system be the darts equivalent of a hole-card cam?
