Meanwhile, leaving alone the revenue sphere, the casino festival has brought in a variety of social networking and advanced mobile technology, taking gaming in India to another level. The first day saw 300-odd gamers competing with each other for prizes totally worth Rs 5 crore. They battled in games like blackjack, poker, Indian flush, baccarat, American roulette and other popular games in the gaming arena. The World Gaming Festival hosted gamers from across the country, mainly from major towns like Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, and Chandigarh, with the highest number of gamers coming in from India's commercial capital of Mumbai. It is being hoped that there will be more participants on the final day as the casino organizers do everything in their books to make this event a grand success, and indeed a game changer for the gaming industry.
