Molly Bloom, the American entrepreneur, author and legendary organiser of high-stakes VIP poker games featuring Hollywood A-listers, is to deliver a keynote at CasinoBeats Malta in March and host the event’s very own poker tournament.
Bloom, whose memoir Molly’s Game was turned into an Oscar-nominated hit movie in 2017 starring Jessica Chastain, will open the second day of the event at the InterContinental Hotel. She will provide the conference’s inspiring keynote address before joining a panel discussion on poker with other industry experts.
In the evening, Bloom will host Molly’s Malta Game in association with OlyBet, an exclusive 100-seat poker invitational taking place in Casino Malta, the InterContinental’s casino and the island’s biggest gaming venue.
Guests can look forward to hearing about Bloom’s experience of hosting the world’s most exclusive poker games, as well as having the chance to meet her during the tournament, as CasinoBeats Malta signs off with a bang.
Speaking about her involvement in the event, she said: “I am excited to personally share my story of overcoming setbacks with the guests at CasinoBeats Malta. We will spend time together learning about how to become resilient and successful, but also have some fun with Molly’s Game Malta.
“I am looking forward to seeing how the poker players of Malta measure up, and can’t wait to join you there!”
Veiko Krünberg, Managing Director of OlyBet, said: “We’re proud to sponsor a poker tournament hosted by the legendary Molly Bloom in the luxurious setting of our very own Casino Malta.
“Molly’s Malta Game will see the A-list of the gaming industry taking each other on at the poker table, and it’ll be fascinating to see who comes out on top.”
Stewart Darkin, Managing Director of CasinoBeats, added: “We’re extremely pleased to have Molly joining us in Malta next month. As CasinoBeats has grown, we have sought to do things a little differently – to go our own way.
