ECR 2018 competition

[aceking123]

Evening all as a few members shall know that a few members here had managed to secure a place in the ECR 2018 euro roulette championships from entering a promo provided from Casino Euro ( betsson group )

So firstly i would give a shout to Casino Euro & Alexis Wicen for providing a great chance to win the package via this forum ) so a big thanks for this chance for any rollers to get the chance at the package which ran for nearly 5 weeks.

Flew in thursday morning around 11.30am ish plane was early met the other guys from here @Casinomeister , being Tirilej+1 & gilliebean+1 got to the hotel around 1pm ish , to be greeted by a Casino euro rep who was very polite & gave us a warm welcome , they showed us to where & what we would require to do & upon getting these things done to go & check into the hotel ( Hilton malta ) nice hotel by the way i would recommend it for any stay in malta.

Swiftly on to the cracking room we had 7th floor overlooking the sea glorious views we had from terrace . nice room as you would expect from Hilton. we had the rest of the day to have a snoop around & sample the offerings of foods & what to do whilst having some spare time) weather was cloudy but not cold. damn windy though be warned.

Thursday after joining up the casino we had gained some extra time , as it was quite at casino desk ,headed over to the pavilion to where the party starts Great old buses had taken us from hotel to venue & again this was the same going back . each player & +1 was given gold bands , players also had received a extra tab for the wheel of wealth spin , all sorts of prizes including a trip back to next years event, rebuys lots of other things , drinks food & a warm welcome from hosts pleantly of music & some live as well.

Friday the main event starts after completing my registration on Thursday i had a choice of what time i would like to play , your given a ticket with table number & time for you to play ,prior to this you could of went to a pool party with food & drink provided great views here as it was on top of a hotel waterfall dropping off at edge.

Back to main event walking in there the atmosphere felt great no trouble in site all players & +1s having a great time , i busted out very quickly but the girls managed to make it in for the second day) lots of side events poker, blackjack & other things you could of signed up for , (giant slot machine) netent, pragmatic & play n go all had events going on , where you could win various things. even a darts one for a chance to win a return ticket , i did manage to hit a royal flush playing it. wow friday flew by it went so quickly , maybe too much alcohol taken for me haha. but would gladly say i must of been having fun or it would of dragged.

Saturday pool party again this time at the hotel, girls were AWOL here, maybe they had to much to drink! , again food & drink was provided with a dj & music sun glasses & a few other items provided , also anyone near the pool was asked if they wanted some , which i thought was a nice gesture from reps & hosts , even the younger kids was given out these )

Back to main event after having a few more drinks & walking around meeting a few people as i was not in the second round i just played some side games & had a pop at a few of the games on offer.

Meeting lots of new people & had already been introduced to a old rep from here who i'm glad to say was a total gent & a great laugh , yes Andy its you.
Had a meet up with the games producer of the new pragmatic slot as well )

So many new people & faces i couldn't tell you all of them but would say everyone i met here was great & laidback really showed through here . nothing was to much trouble) i would highly recommend if your given the chance to go over to it ,do it ,a great event fun fair well organized event other than a few hiccups plenty of things going on pity it was over so quickly !

im sure the girls shall add their own comments to this because, i've no doubt missed loads off , but would like to give a shout out to those girls for such a laugh & great company whilst we was at the event , its a pleasure to meet some members face to face & look forward to meeting them again in the future )

A big thanks to the hosts Casino euro & casinomeister for the chance to go)

I'm hoping that Tirilej may have some pictures to update this i have a few but shall upload some later)

I survived but I have been awake since yesterday morning 6.30am so I can hardly see what I'm writing. Got home almost 5am this morning and have been working and done some other things today.
I was planning to go to bed now but then I downloaded all pictures. Now I just have to see them first. It's a lot of them

I will tell some more another day, and show some pictures of Malta. Just have some patience please.

 

[aceking123]

Hi just sorting a few pictures this one is the view looking back at the hotel, our room was to the far right really nice view just waiting to update a few more )

 

[Tirilej]

Finally I have a little time so I can tell about this fabulous trip we won. You all should mark that event in your calenders and try to get down there next year. I will certainly try to convince CasinoEuro to have another CM promotion next year. What do you think @Cogge ?

The hotel we stayed at was Hilton. A 5 star hotel is normally not a place I feel comfortable with, but seeing all the other guests I fast realized I would be okay
I will only post pictures from the hotel today. I thought I would start with them so I edited a few. The rest of the pictures I've hardly seen yet.

The first evening was fun. We got free drinks and food, great music and a ticket to spin a wheel where we could win something. The top prize was another trip next year. I won a buy in for the tournament so if I didn't go through to the final I could get another chance. I did use that I heard some where buying in again for €500 so I guess that was a great prize. I even won two buy in's because Andy gave me a second chance on the wheel. Speaking about all our Andy, the former rep for Redbet, MrGreen and now not a rep at all here, but is working at Betsson, was great meeting again. Also Alexander who also is a former rep from Redbet and CasinoEuro, and of course Alexis. The A-Team maybe i should call them

Second day me and my friend visited Valetta, and those pictures will be up before the weekend I hope. Not much to tell about that but at 5pm that day I played Roulette for the first time in my life
We were six people on each table and lucky me had a Norwegian guy who explained the rules for me, and helped me all the way. Everyone who had money after 30 spins on the wheel would go through to the final the next day. I made 27 then I was out.
I said first that never again. My head was about to expload. So much people, the stress and excitement was almost too much for me.

An hour later I registered for another chance, and that time we were only three at the table. A piece of cake. I was now a clever roulette player who of course got through to the next day, and with some money too
This story have to continue tomorrow......., so I stop here and post the pictures instead. Only from the hotel today.

Looks terrible....what an ordeal. I don't know how any of you made it through the three days!

looking at the photos id probably have a hard time at customs as the agents would wonder why they kept hearing little meow sounds from my duffel

I knew there was a reason for why I posted that cat

There are a lot of them in Malta, but there are also many people who help them. I can't stop thinking about the horses and some of the dogs I saw though. They have it a lot worse especially in the summer heat.

Oh my. Those are beautiful photos.

What a wonderful experience for all.

Hello. I think I've only just recovered from this, age is a terrible thing. Was amazing meeting you all and renewing old friendships, real and virtual. Loved reminiscing about the old days on here and what I've missed since I went awol.
I'm going to start lurking a lot more, I'd get posting again but it's tricky now it's not just me Alexis and Alexander, can't be quite so open
Looking forward to next year already, I'm going to get in training! We'll have to get a few more CM comps going next time.

Nice pictures. Reminds me of my time in Malta a couple of years ago when I stayed in the Hilton too.

Thanks for sharing the pictures and also the stories.

 

[homerbert]

I did hear about your escapades. I hope you had a great time

 

[Tirilej]

I had planned to continue my story but I won't. I'll tell you what I saw with pictures instead. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to bring my camera to the casino or any other event, but I will show some from Malta. Today it's a few from Valetta.

 

[Mouche12]

Awesome pictures Tirilej!

 

[Tirilej]

In case anyone wants to see more pictures from Malta I will post a few from my visit to Mdina, the old Capital city, and also known as the Silent city.(except the first picture which was just a nice door I found in S:t Julians)

I had hoped that Gilliebean, Kavaman and especially Cogge would have added some stories and pictures but here is at least a link to see videos from the event.

Great Photo Story

 

[Supababe]

I would have loved the continuation of your story Tirilej, it was great to hear about your adventures x

Amazing camerawork once again x

 

[ternur]

Stunning pictures Tirilej! We also visited Valletta, what a beautiful place.

Thanks, they would just have been sitting on my computer for no use otherwise, so it's great if anyone likes them.

I don't know if I had that much story left to tell really. The third day I was in Mdina as the pictures show. Then back home and get ready for the big finale that I had planned to win.
I mean there was just 83 players left and at least 50 of them had less money than I had. I had 1600.

For some reason, or to get rid of a lot of people fast, they started on 400. That meant that if I didn't win on the first four spins I would be out. I DIDN'T WIN ON THE FIRST FOUR SPINS
I was out very fast. The last 32 would win money so I was a bit disappointed. The rest of the evening I was sheering for that Norwegian guy who tought me the rules instead. He ended on place 8 and won €5000. Not bad!

Then there was this ride home the next day that I will never repeat with 7 hours waiting time in Munchen. A total of 19,5 hours to get from the hotel and back home. Great planning, not. Next year they have to plan better because I will win a trip down again and then win the tournament

Gilliebean and her friend was so fun to have there. They made us all laugh. Really nice and friendly. So was Aceking too, and his lovely lady, but him I've met before.
Kavaman I have no idea about because I saw him when we arrived and then I had no clue who he was. I do have a hard time remember faces, and names

 

[bebo67]

Wow! What a beautiful Island~! You guys were certainly lucky. Thanks for showing the pictures. The one of the blue door is amazing, hold on tight to that one. I see a lot of art work and if you ever see a contest, you might want to throw that one in.

 

[aceking123]

It was a pleasure meeting with new & old faces , really enjoyed the whole thing , would prod the next batch of people to have a bash for next years event , so keep it in your book , other than a few hiccups there is plenty of things going on it something some players should do this at least once, its a nice atmosphere & very friendly bunch considering how many people are at the event , if i get another chance to go i would be up for it , but play slightly different to last time.
