Fans of online blackjack are being given the chance to win a seat to the inaugural live London Blackjack Open Final where they can compete head-to-head for their share of £25,000 in cash.
The London Blackjack Open Final is being hosted by leading skill games provider GameAccount Network and will take place at London’s Casino At The Empire in Leicester Square on January 30 with a £10,000 top prize on offer.
Players can qualify for one of 32 seats at leading online sportsbetting sites such as PaddyPower.com, BlueSq.com, BoyleSports.com and StanJames.com. The event will be recorded live for broadcast on The Poker Channel and over the Internet alongside tutorial segments and player interviews.
Online qualifiers have already begun with twice-daily tournaments taking place for a spot in a weekly semi-final where two players will win a seat to the London Blackjack Open Final. These events will continue until January 23 with further entry details and information available at GameAccount.com.
“We are proud to be hosting one of the biggest blackjack tournaments of the year on behalf of some of the top names in the betting and gaming industry,” said Per Petersen, Marketing Director for GameAccount.
“Blackjack has been an ever-popular fixture in casinos but in terms of head-to-head tournament play it has always come second to poker as people perceive a lower skill aspect to the game. We have seen increasing numbers of users of GameAccount’s own player-to-player version of the game and we’re sure that the London Blackjack Open will be a huge success for our network partners.”
