Shuffle Up Poker Overview
The last decade has seen a massive resurgence of the sport of Poker, played at home, in casinos, and tournaments worldwide. The public is becoming savvier about gambling, and there has been a general decline in gaming tables. The exception is the sudden rise in interest in multi-player poker, and the trend seems set to continue.
Poker is played and watched by a massive variety of people, including many celebrities such as BEN AFFLECK, DANNY K, TOBEY MAGUIRE, PAUL AZINGER, SHANNON ELIZABETH, and JENNIFER TILLEY, to name a few. It is fast becoming one of the most watched sports on TV. Poker is SEXY, POPULAR AND RIGHT NOW!
Shuffle Up Poker's main objective in the Million Dollar Poker challenge, is to launch the new sport of Poker in South Africa, and make the tournament an unforgettable experience. Over the next five years we plan to increase the number of entrants and establish this annual poker event as one of the leading Poker Tournaments in the World, and one of the highlights of the Sun International Events calendar.
The High Profile of this event would attract the following people:
Sun International's most valued guests, all High Rollers, High Profile and International poker players, celebrities, and all people that enjoy the excitement of gaming. Players will get a well organized, value for money tournament that is enjoyed by not only the winners, but by all the participants.This event has the potential to be one of the leading Highlights in the Sun City calendar. The World Series of Poker that takes place in Las Vegas every July attracts over 12,000 entrants each year. The Aussie Millions Poker Tournament in Melbourne attracted 2,500 players in 2008.This event should prove to be a major success in coming years, attracting people from all over the World to Sun City, as well as attracting guests that are not only poker players, but who see our adverts, and who ultimately want to be part of an event-packed weekend of Poker, Live International Entertainment, food, drink, game drives, excellent hospitality, and stand the chance of being caught with a star and being seen on TV.
