Casino Marathon

Playing in the International Casino Games is a lot like running a marathon. A marathon, in all of its 26.2 miles of excruciating torture and runners’ high, isn’t something a person just decides to do, and then goes out and does it. No. A marathon requires great dedication and will power, as well as the discipline to play every day, no matter how long the hours, and regardless of the bad days. Well any casino tournament is much like a marathon. People, especially in games like online poker, dedicate themselves to learning the game and spend hours upon hours just learning and practicing. Others, like online slots players, count more on their endurance to follow through. Regardless of being down for a couple hours, they keep going, because they know in their gut that their luck will turn around very soon.

That is exactly the case over at this year’s fourth annual International Casino Game tournament. The event has actually been in progress since last August, and will be extending through February 2009. That’s a grand total of 6 months of slot machines and casino games.

The Fortune Lounge Group, which is the organization behind the event, has upped the stakes with the prospect of a grand cruise experience, where land and online casino gamblers can meet and play over a luxury ocean liner, and perhaps even make a little money.

Now that we are in November, we can mark the halfway point of the event, during which there have already been 50 tickets to this amazing time given away.
