Norway to Play Poker In Nottingham

/ Editor / 01 April 2008 / Leave a Comment

YOU going to the Norwegian Poker Championships.

You know, the event being staged in the frozen wastes of Nottingham.

To the Duck Till Dawn Club, Nottingham, where Norway's finest are making ready to play cards.

Between April 28th through May 5th, 2008, the club will be run along Norwegian lines with breaks for readings of Roald Dahl's works, dancing to the music of A-ha and a competition to guess how tall Aston Villa's striker John Carew really is.

Over in Norway proper, the game of playing poker for money is illegal.

For such reasons and more, the likes of Betfair's Annette Obrestad AKA "Annette_15" operate in the UK, and areas beyond Norway.

Over the newswires, the Poker Anorak learns that as many as 500 Norwegian poker players are likely to travel to play in the event, now in its seventh year.

As the great Norwegian Edvard Munch would doubtless say: It'll be a scream.

The Norwegians are coming. Play online and be prepared...
