Now that the actual football championships have come to an end, all active footballers in Austria's clubs can keep playing at Casinos Austria's tables, this time for the Casino Cup. The Casino Cup is a competition for footballers and fans playing in any football clubs registered with the Austrian Football Association. This time it's not about fast, cunning exchanges, spectacular long shots and yellow cards, but about exciting entertainment and a bit of luck at the roulette, black jack and poker tables.
The second preliminary round at Casino Vienna on July 4 began with a joint reception, the Captains' Meeting, after which the element of luck entered the picture at the roulette, black jack and poker tables. What was at stake was not money, but tournament chips; it was all about the entertainment and the fun factor. Max Golda from the DSG Hetzendorf team (DSG Lower League B) had Lady Luck on his side on this day and conquered the poker table. They won the day ahead of FC Patron Wien (2nd Class A) and SU Wien United Grasshoppers 05 (Upper League A) and as a result advanced to the national final round.
For any teams that still want to take part in the Casino Cup, we can still offer remaining dates for Vienna in July and August and for teams from Lower Austria and Burgenland in Casino Baden. Clubs can register at any time. Whoever prevails at the Austrian final in autumn can look forward to a spectacular main prize: the winning team gets to take part in a one-week training camp in the sunny south. The Austrian final of the Casino Cup will be shown as part of an entertaining primetime TV show by PULS 4 in autumn of 2022.
