Redbet and Videoslots Sponsors at the Malta Poker Festival
The Malta Poker Festival has just kicked off in grand style with a welcome ceremony that included acrobatics.
The festival runs from Nov. 1-6 at the Portomaso Casino in Malta's vibrant hotspot St. Julians. The highlight of the festival is the €550 Malta Poker Festival Grand Event which features three opening flights on Nov. 1-3 with players who survive the first day competing for three more days until the first-ever Malta Poker Festival Grand Event champion is crowned.
Event Director of the Malta Poker Festival Ivonne Montealegre is proud of all the amazing partners involved in the festival including redbet Live, Videoslots, The Hendon Mob, Intertops, IPC Poker Tour, and the Amateur Poker Association & Tour (APAT).
Montealegre wanted to give a special shoutout to redbet Live and Videoslots, who both have booths set up at the festival.
redbet
Poker Manager for redbet Katharine Arnsby, also known to many simply as "Kat," is a well-known poker player, poker blogger and commentator who is very passionate about the industry.
"Katharine provides the best customer service I’ve seen in the industry," shared Montealegre to PokerNews. "She is hands-on, always active in social media, lives and breathes poker, and is doing groundbreaking initiatives for poker and women’s poker."
Videoslots
Montealegre is equally as passionate about having Videoslots as one of its sponsors as it is the biggest online casino having recently celebrated the largest number of slots online.
The biggest name behind this forward-thinking casino is Alexander Stevendahl, the person who after finishing school had started to play poker and was earning quite a comfortable living from it. However, after a bad month, he decided to go another route and launched an affiliate site called Rakebacklovers in 2006.
Seven years later, Stevendahl brought Videoslots to life in 2013 and it has quickly established itself as the player’s choice casino. Videoslots is an award-winning casino that has been built from the ground up around the concept of innovation, differentiation and high-end customer service. Videoslots prides itself in treating every player as a VIP.
Stevendahl is going back to his roots and playing in the Malta Poker Festival Grand Event. Those with a Videoslots account have a chance of winning €1,000 if they eliminate the former poker player.
“I met Alex a long time ago on the poker tables; he has always been passionate about poker," said Montealegre. "I admire him: he is an innovator and has brought the online gaming industry in general to a new level. During MPF’s Grand Event there is a bounty on him for 1,000 EUR. All you need to do is set up a Videoslots account previous to knocking him out."
