Nearly £500,000 was staked on CasinoRip's Domino Duel game during the first two months of its release, suggesting that the game of dominoes is proving popular with the internet generation.

 

The UK-based gaming website said players had wagered over £425,000, or approximately £50,000 each week, on the game in the two months following its launch in September.

The skill and chance game has been given a makeover by CasinoRip and has quickly become the site’s third most popular person-to-person game.

Kevin Dale, CasinoRip’s chief executive officer, said: “It’s great to see a traditional game like dominoes making such a comeback.
