There is always something going on in the gambling industry, whether it’s a major sporting event, awards ceremony or iGaming Expo. 2020 has the usual mix on offer at Barbados Bingo and some should not be missed.
Days At The Races
March is always anticipated in the horseracing and gambling world because of the Cheltenham Festival. Every year thousands of race goers head to this famous racecourse in the UK for 4 days of the best NH racing in the world. The atmosphere is electric as the Irish do battle with the Brits both on the racetrack and in the betting ring. In fact, this festival has increased in international popularity year on year and millions are gambled over the 4-day extravaganza.
The highlight of day 1 is the Champion Hurdle, whilst day 2 sees the top 2 milers in the world display their speed and jumping ability in the Queen Mother Champion Chase. Day 3 is for the stayers to shine in the Stayers Hurdle and it all concludes with the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the most prestigious jumps race away from the Grand National. Let’s not forget the great race itself that is run at Aintree on the 4th of April 2020.
Exhibition Time
Still in the UK and also in April sees the Bet iGaming Expo take place in Old Billingsgate in London from the 7th of April to the 9th of April 2020. It’s an exhibition dedicated to gambling that comes complete with conferences and even a business zone. This event has a pre and after party that is great for those who work in the industry and want to network.
All the top companies in the iGaming industry come together and share their expertise with casino representatives, investors, distributors and industry regulators.
Poker Nights
Poker is now big business and this is clearly illustrated by the huge number of Poker tournaments that take place around the globe. May sees the May Deep Stack Poker Series take place in Hollywood USA. It kicks off on the 14th to the 25th of May and since it’s Hollywood, expect some major prize funds to be up for grabs. Las Vegas also host a large number of Poker tournaments every year and this comes as no surprise from the home of gambling.
Staying with Poker, the Asian Poker Tour stops in Vietnam in June 2020. So if you just happen to find yourself in Ho Chi Minh between the 3rd and 14th of June you can experience some exciting Poker games in one of Asia’s finest countries. If you fancy waiting until July, then the entire roadshow travels to Seoul, South Korea between the 25th and 31st of July.
Finally, Australia is the gambling capital of the world and the home of the aptly named Aussie Millions Poker Championship. This 800 strong player tournament has already been and gone this year and congratulations go to Mr Vincent Wan of Melbourne, who walked off with AUS$1,850,000 and a custom made diamond-encrusted gold bracelet worth AUS$29,500.
