Game Face Gaming Teams Up With Card Player Cruises

Game Face Gaming, Inc. announced Wednesday that it has executed a strategic partnership agreement with Card Player Cruises, LLC. (CPC) under which the Company through its Face Up Gaming platform will begin offering Card Player Cruises vacation packages in its monthly prize pools, along with sponsored onboard boot camp seminars and gift giveaways. CPC will introduce and promote the Company’s Face Up Gaming non wagering platform to its members.

The CPC Tour Boot Camp will feature topflight pros as instructors and four tournaments with a total prize pool of $200,000. In addition to a specially outfitted card room that Card Player Cruises operates with its personnel, members of the voyage poker group have access to poker seminars and training sessions, exclusive onboard parties, and private shore excursions.

“This type of gorilla marketing will give Face Up Gaming great exposure with the poker players, who comprise about 25% of the passengers on these voyages. We anticipate bringing on thousands of players, likely north of 5,000 with this relationship in the first couple of months,” said Felix Elinson, the Company’s CEO.

CPC is owned and operated by Linda Johnson, the former publisher of Card Player Magazine. Johnson is a current World Poker Tour announcer, C_ard Player_ author, and a well-respected poker player. Linda will be working closely with the Face Up’s marketing team to promote and support Face Up Gaming online and shipside to the tens of thousands of people that CPC is in direct contact with.

Johnson and CPC host several “at sea” poker tournaments. Previously, she was a co-founder of the World Poker Industry Conference, the World Poker Players Conference, and the Tournament Directors Association. She was the original chairperson for the Poker Players Alliance and still serves on its board of directors. Known as “The First Lady of Poker,” Johnson has been a worthy ambassador to the game over the years.

This year, Card Player Cruises is planning six such trips, all on Royal Caribbean, which will visit the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Alaska, and Mexico. But what distinguishes Card Player Cruises trips is that passengers will have exclusive access to their own card room, where poker tournaments and cash games will be going at a steady clip. Anyone wishing to learn to play poker can take advantage of free lessons and then apply the knowledge at the tables. “Game Face Gaming’s legal non-wagering platform is an addition to their current offerings and we can envision a huge response and demand for this product,” added Felix Elinson.

“Our first Voyage with Card Player Cruises sailed Sept. 25th, on the Oasis of the Seas – one of the world’s largest cruise ships, with 2,700 staterooms – which departed Fort Lauderdale for the eastern Caribbean with 4 of our online finalists. We are looking forward to many more voyages together,” said Felix Elinson.

Game Face Gaming is committed to responsible game-play and is not a gambling site.
