Irish Lovin' on Poker

The Emerald Isle is a mystical place of old that evokes images of fairies and silkies, misty castles and poker. Wait, poker? Yes, Ireland has been crowned the European Poker Capital this year for the second time. Dublin in particular was crowned the capital and the city just beat out London for the honor. Ireland is a country that is rapidly growing its own land and online casino gambling and poker gaming industries. There is not a lot of internet gambling legislation firmly in place yet, but the government has not stopped the poker industry from flourishing in its capital. One of the key requirements for the winning capital was a government that was not operating a land or online casino gambling monopoly and a city that had a lot of poker friendly venues and poker events.

London only narrowly lost to Dublin for this honor from the land and online casino poker gambling industries but in the end it’s the enthusiasm of the Irish themselves that seems to have won them the award. They love the game of poker and offer up a huge variety of gaming venues within the capital city and the organized tournaments are par none – the Irish Poker Open has really grown in prestige over the past several years and increasingly popular with native Irish gamblers as well as professionals from the rest of the international land and online casino poker gambling industry.

The passion and enthusiasm of the Irish have won the award for Dublin again this year but the Bluff Europe representatives deciding on the awarding of the title note that it was really a close call between London and Dublin and that it’s likely that this rivalry will exist for quite some time as the two cities duke it out for the European Poker Capital award each year.
