LeoVegas’ first National British Blackjack tournament came to a close last week after a London-based blackjack fan beat seven other finalists to walk away with the £10,000 grand prize and a luxury holiday to Malta.
Hosted in Malta at the luxurious Casino Portomaso, the event saw the eight finalists compete in rounds of high pressure Elimination Blackjack for a share of an £18,000 pot.
Shenaly Amin, UK country manager at LeoVegas: “We understand how competitive the online mobile casino market is and this is why events like this are important to us. They help us engage with our existing players, attract new ones and reward those who made it all the way to the final. This is why we whisked the eight finalists, and their guests, off to Malta to treat them like winners even before the first card was dealt. Finalists enjoyed an amazing Mediterranean dining experience as well as an ultrasonic speedboat ride.”
To qualify for the final, entrants across the length and breadth of the UK battled it out on their computers, phones and tablets, playing the 16 variants of blackjack available at LeoVegas.com.
Taking the largest share of the £18,000 winning pot was Sameer from London who walked away with £10,000 and the luxury trip to Malta for two. Runners up included Felix, also from London, with £5,000, Daniel from Oxford with £2,500 and John from Clacton-on-Sea with £500.
