'Blackball' is an internationally standardised variation of the popular American bar and club game, Eight-Ball pool, featuring a black ball numbered 'eight' which is the last to be potted.

This popular televised event, running from 28^th October to 4^th November, sees Blackball rules pool players from all over the globe come together to compete in numerous Mens and Ladies singles and team events and GalaCasino.com will be sponsoring Liam in the Mens' Singles tournament, whilst he also represents Gibraltar in the team event.

Liam, winner of numerous local events and a consistent qualifier for the Gibraltar Mens 'A' team throughout the past 7 years, said: "I am very proud to be playing alongside my team mates for my country and not least for myself as an individual. I have been very fortunate to be sponsored in this year's world championships by such a respected house-hold name like Gala, and I'll endeavour to do both myself and Gala proud".

This sponsorship further confirms GalaCasino.com's interest and involvement in niche leisure areas of the nation's collective conscious as it continues to recreate its incredible success on land online.

With 300+ high definition slots and table games with eye-popping visuals and pin-dropping audio, members will be overawed with the impressive range of games available.

There are regular progressive jackpot slots, such as the uber-popular Chests of Plenty, currently standing at a whopping £1.5 MILLION*, plus numerous state-of-the-art variations on classic casino table games like Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat.

Members can also try the 'so real you could be there' Live Casino with real time dealer interaction and can play anywhere, anytime on a Mobile casino compatible with almost all smart phones, regular phones, iPhones, Androids, and BlackBerries.

Not to mention a 100% up to £200 Welcome Bonus for new members and 50% up to £50 on their second deposit.

Whichever way you look at it, GalaCasino.com, much like Blackball rules pool players, puts itself firmly in the winning frame.
