Bowling Championship Sponsored by Online Slots Site Starts Today
A novice Canadian bowling tournament series, sponsored by online slots site Slotland.com, kicks off today in the Vancouver, B.C., area. The Vancouver bowling series will make four tour stops, and a similar Winnipeg, Manitoba, bowling tour will start in mid October. At each Vancouver-area tour stop, the winning bowling team will take away $300, and move on the regional playoffs in Vancouver on November 6. At the regional playoffs, teams will get the chance to win another $500.
Regarding the association between amateur bowling and online slots, Tammy Morin, the manager at Vancouver's Grandview Lanes, said, “Novice bowling doesn’t usually get this kind of attention. Lots of our bowlers play slots too, so everyone thinks the association with Slotland.com is kind of cool.”
Players must have a bowling average of under 150 points in order to qualify for the tournament as an amateur. In addition to amateur players, each team may have one more skilled member with an average of up to 190.
