Casino Brand Partners with World Seniors Snooker for New Tournament
Leading gaming operator Videoslots has announced a new partnership between its casino brand, Mr Vegas, and World Seniors Snooker (WSS). Mr Vegas will serve as the sponsor for the Snooker 900 tournament, marking its expansion into a third sport within weeks.
The WSS event will take place on December 29 at Epsom Racecourse, providing Mr Vegas with increased visibility in the United Kingdom. This collaboration follows recent partnerships with EFL club West Bromwich Albion and the PDC, where Mr Vegas will be the title sponsor of two major tournaments in the upcoming year.
The Snooker 900 tournament will be broadcast live and exclusively in the UK on Channel 5 during the festive period. Snooker legends like Stephen Hendry and Jimmy White will participate in a quick-fire round robin format, with the top two players from each group advancing to the knockout stages.
As a result of this deal, Mr Vegas is rapidly establishing itself as one of the most promising online casinos in the UK, further raising awareness of their brand across the region.
Ulle Skottling, the Deputy CEO of Mr Vegas, expressed excitement about expanding their outreach into snooker, especially during such a busy time of the year. Skottling stated that the UK is a vital market for them, and the recent sponsorships in football and darts, along with snooker, will undoubtedly enhance Mr Vegas’ reputation within the sports world.
Jason Francis, Chairman of the WSS, expressed delight in partnering with Mr Vegas for the first-ever snooker tournament on Channel 5. Francis mentioned that the lineup consists of highly decorated and admired players, and they are excited to witness their battles on the table and provide entertainment to the audience.
