Three lucky locals will be heading to Johannesburg to represent The Ridge Casino in the National Finals of the countrywide 2014 Tsogo Sun Roulette Masters Tournament at the end of March when they will compete for the grand first prize of R1.9 million.
The Ridge Casino was one of 13 Tsogo Sun Casinos around the country that hosted qualifying rounds for the Roulette Masters Tournament between mid-January and mid- March. It is the first nationwide Roulette Tournament that Tsogo Sun has staged.
Faroo Ismail, Nkgomeng Thipane, and Niketan Chope were among the top 21 scorers in the local competition that qualified to participate in The Ridge Finals. They shared R35 000 prize money and won a trip to Gold Reef City for the National Finals on March 29. At the Grand nationals, finalists from around the country will compete for the title of Tsogo Sun Roulette Master 2014.
In addition to the guaranteed R1.9 million first prize; there is a further R500 000 in cash to be shared by runner up scores.
“The Ridge Final competition was the culmination of nine weeks of exciting qualifying rounds and stiff competition. We congratulate our finalists in the Roulette Masters Tournament. Consistently scoring high in the qualifying rounds, and emerging in the top three at our Semi Final competition, they have proven themselves to be worthy candidates for the title of Tsogo Sun’s Roulette Master 2014.
“We look forward to the national finals at the end of the month when someone will walk away with a cool R1.9 million in cash. The stakes are high and we wish them luck. Certainly, we are hoping for one of our own to take home the big prize.
“We would also like to thank everyone who participated in The Ridge Casino’s tournament. It has been a fast-paced and exciting competition,” said Ms Thapelo Modise, the marketing manager at The Ridge Casino.
