Poker Stars Aplenty in New Gambling.com Magazine

September 29, 2006 (London, UK) – With former Esquire Senior Designer Stuart Tolley on board as Art Director, the September/October issue of Gambling.com Magazine features Eric Bana, Erica Schoenberg a.k.a. the ‘Poker Princess’, and a look at one of the world’s best golf courses. These are only a taste of the mouth-watering prospects awaiting readers of this luxury gambling magazine.

In his first interview since filming completed on new poker movie Lucky You, Eric Bana talks about his challenging role as a pro poker player pitted against his estranged father (Robert Duvall). Eric also discusses his meteoric rise-and-rise in Hollywood, and the joys of working with Academy Award winning director, Curtis Hanson (The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, 8 Mile, LA Confidential).

Next up is the gorgeous ‘Poker Princess’ Erica Schoenberg, who was recently announced as the official ‘spokesmodel’ of uber-chic gambling brand, Mansion. Erica tells Gambling.com Magazine about her dreams of success on the poker circuit and how she’s planning to turn heads in the poker world – and not just for the obvious reasons.

As befitting the magazine of choice for the gambling sector, this issue also features a superb interview with hip-hop superstar Ja Rule. With his typical bravado, Ja took time away from the birthday celebrations of hip-hop mogul Irv Gotti to warn poker’s big boys to “knuckle up and keep droppin’ your winnings into advertising”. Ja also advises pretenders to “watch how a true ‘playa’ leads his troops into war” with his new online poker room StarsonPoker.

Gambling.com Magazine also pays homage to the incredible Wynn Golf & Country Club. Designed by Tom Fazio, the man with more credits on Golf Digest's list of ‘America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses’ than any other living designer, the revolutionary course is acknowledged as one of the best in the world and was the brainchild of legendary Vegas hotelier Steve Wynn.

Michael Caselli, editor of Gambling.com, says: “We’re really pleased with our fourth issue. We’ve got a fantastic magazine absolutely packed with features, interviews and loads of stuff to keep even the most hardened gamer absorbed for hours.”

The September/October issue is out now.
