Te transformed casino featured fountains, Vespas and pin-ups offering limoncello, spritzers and toffee apples to get the evening started. A cocktail creation was served from a fifties’ style petrol pump and musicians, crooners and DJs had the whole place moving and enjoying the thrills of gaming.

To be in with a chance of winning the Holy Grail, totalling €1m on the Saturday and €200,000 on the Sunday, players had to make it through a qualifying round of banking games. Te qualifying rounds took place between the May 8 and June 21, with players having to make the best possible 5-card combination from the seven they had in their hand.
