In a company press release, OpenBet has proved it knows how to throw a celebratory party. It’s invited the industry to its stand at the ICE Totally Gaming event to meet Barry Hearn, Chairman of Matchroom Sport, and 15-time Darts World Champion Phil Taylor to mark the darts-themed titles launch.

On the day of the event, OpenBet will be also hosting a competition called “Challenge the Power”, which will allow visitors to the stand to challenge Phil Taylor to a game of darts under the beady eye of official PDC referee, George Noble. To qualify for the event, players need to play their hand at darts on OpenBet’s stand 5165 before 3pm on Tuesday. Then, once qualified, challenge Phil himself between 3pm and 5pm on the stand and win various prizes and sporting memorabilia.

Phil “The Power” Taylor, said: “OpenBet has done a fantastic job at taking our sport and producing a game that not only looks great but has strong appeal to the millions of customers that visit gaming websites. We are very proud of this agreement and I look forward to showcasing our games and defending my honour against everyone willing to challenge me at ICE.”
