The Best Western Palace Hotel and Casino will host the closing event for the 2016 KPMG eGaming Summit. This is also the Autumn eClub event and the sponsors are hoping for a great turnout on the evening.

The event will commence with drinks in Whispers Bar from 5.30pm and will be followed by an evening of games and live music in the Palace Casino, with drinks, canapes and a taste of the Orient courtesy of the ‘Majestic at the Casino’ Chinese restaurant.

The evening is open to all delegates attending the KPMG eGaming Summit and, as with all eClub events, anyone involved in eGaming or with an interest in the sector.

The Best Western Palace Hotel and Casino is owned by Sefton Group plc, the Island’s largest leisure and hospitality Group. As well as benefitting from 136 guest bedrooms, a number of bars, restaurants and function spaces, a Health Club with swimming pool and an on-site cinema, it is home to the Island’s only Casino, Bingo Hall and Slots Lounge.

Adrian Brockhouse, Sefton Group plc Operations Director, and his management team are looking forward to the event.

Mr Brockhouse commented: “The 2016 KPMG eGaming Summit is such an important event for the Isle of Man, with this sector already being such a significant local employer and with the potential to become even bigger, in turn helping the Department of Economic Development to achieve its vision of increasing the local workforce, job opportunities and people relocating here.

“It is a fantastic opportunity to get together to look at the future of the sector, but also to fly the flag for Isle of Man plc and what an attractive proposition it is for companies to base themselves here.

“The Palace Casino was established more than 50 years ago and is the only such facility on the Island. As such, we work closely with our counterparts in other areas of the local gaming sector and look forward to hosting them, as well as local eClub members, at this very special closing party which promises to be a fun and fitting conclusion to the Island’s annual industry conference.”

eClub is a social meeting place for anyone involved or interested in eGaming on the Isle of Man. Initiated by KPMG and Continent 8 Technologies, eClub offers a space for people working in the industry to make contacts, or discuss industry trends and developments.
