People of all ages from teenagers to grandparents have started to play this game religiously.
So what is sukoku one might ask and what does it have to do with online gambling? Sudoku is a numbers game similar to crossword puzzles where the player is given a set of nine squares which also consist of nine smaller squares. To begin the game some of the squares already contain a random number from 0 - 9 and it is the sudoku players goal to fill in the rest of the squares with the remaining numbers.
Sound easy? Well this is where things become interesting while filling in each of the squares the player must not only fill in each box with a number but must also take care that no two numbers touch, remember there are 9 large squares total to complete each starting with a random number or numbers so that the player cannot fill out any one of the larger squares the same way (view a sudoku puzzle here http://www.onlysudoku.com)
