MAHJONG WORLD CUP?
Bright ideas from Dynasty Gaming
The growing legions of Mahjong fans will have an ultimate competition
to look forward to this year - a Mahjong World Cup.
The company specialising in licensing software for this ancient game with a
massive modern following, Dynasty Gaming Inc., says that it is to jointly
create and sponsor the first World Cup of Mahjong tournament during December
2006.
Dynasty's partner for this first-ever tournament will be the Ho Group,
the largest operator of casinos in Macau, off the coast of China, where the
event will be held.
Dynasty is associated with Mahjong Mania, which was established in 2003
by Intertops co-founder Ian Sherrington. Ian is a member of the
management team and has been a Mahjong aficionado since childhood, when he first
played the game at school. Although he never played for money as a youngster,
as an adult he wagered the game would be a big online winner. A little research
uncovered an unfilled need for real-money, multi-player Mahjong on the Net.
Much creative contemplation later sparked the development of the first edition
of Speed Mahjong.
Mahjong Mania is a wholly owned subsidiary of Events International Holding
Corporation, a company whose shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange
Venture market under the symbol "EIH". . The company’s software
development team is located in Montreal, Canada while the sales and marketing
initiatives are undertaken by Mahjong Systems Limited, a Turks and Caicos registered
company.
Other executives involved in managing the rapidly growing stable of mahjong
operators include CEO and chairman Albert Barbusci, Adriaan Brink
who is president of the company and Anthony Barbusci who is in charge
of finance and corporate affairs.
