Online Casino Gambling News - by Gamblers Lodge

Team Slotland, known as Team Gurts in previous days, is an Ontario, Canada curling team and Olympic hopeful. And now, the Olympic dream does not look so far off, with the team improving vastly this year.

The move to be sponsored by the online casino, Slotland, was slightly controversial, causing some curling enthusiasts to lash out at the team, claiming that they were being blinded by money. However, the players of Team Slotland know better, and know that it takes sponsorship and money to get to a competitive level for the Olympics.

Although the team is planning for a 2010 Winter Olympic bid, at the rate the team is improving, it is very possible they may be 2006 contenders in the largely popular Canadian sport. And Slotland casino seeks to make the game even more popular with its sponsorship of the team. The large online slot casino thinks that many avid slot players and leisure gamblers will enjoy the leisurely sport of curling and make some bets in the meantime.

The team has expressed its appreciation to Slotland for their new uniforms, which has seemed to be a boost of confidence, and that they will use the funding to enter top competitions. It has already guaranteed their entry into the World Curling Tour. One would think they are also using it to free up time for more practice.

The sponsorship is currently funding the teams 2004/2005 seasons, and seems to be doing well at taking the place of previous sponsorships the team was milking from condom manufacturers and donut shops. It probably would have caused even more of a stir if the team walked out on the ice wearing tights in black and gold and Roman helmets, called themselves the Trojan Magnums, and had curling sticks that were ribbed for pleasure…Thank you Slotland.
