Maxim Magazine and the Money Gaming Corporation have teamed up to offer online skill gaming to readers of the popular men's magazine.  Offering the latest in gaming technology, visitors of the Maxim website can now have unlimited free access to games like slingo, poker and mahjong, which can all be bought for a one-time price. Future installments of real money wagering games like solitaire and backgammon are to come soon.

Twenty-eight to forty-year-old males could be getting more than some pretty pictures and sexual advice in their latest online issue of Maxim Magazine in the near future.  The magazines most targeted demographic, this particular group of young and middle-aged men happen to have median incomes nearly 30% greater than the U.S. national average, which also means they have more money to spend than on just a monthly magazine issue.

Perhaps this is why Maxim is now entering the online betting industry.  Dennis Publishing, who is responsible for publishing Maxim, recently signed an agreement with The Money Gaming Corporation to create an online skill gaming platform accessible to readers of Maxim online. The online gaming site offers better odds than some online casino games, offering a pretty good 50/50 chance of winning.  For many bettors, these kinds of odds are good enough, and well worth the fun and entertainment that online skill betting affords.  Games like virtual pool and solitaire and beginning to develop a very large following.

Part of Maxim's strategy in offering online skill games (aside from getting around possible legal complications with the U.S. government) seems to be an encouragement of its readers and subscribers to participate in one-on-one betting that stirs up camaraderie and a vibe of friendly competition that normally is not found at traditional online casinos.
