Gaming and geeking are two things which combine fantastically well. In most countries and cities around the world, you’ll find opportunities to do both, and Dublin stands out as one of the top locations in this respect. So, whether your bag is playing at the best online casinos, or heading to a geeky event, Dublin has you covered.
When it comes to gaming, Dublin, as a city, take things very seriously. So, it will come as no surprise that one of the most important dates on their calendar sees The Irish Gaming Show take place. It’s two days of “intensive discovery”, where the Irish Gambling industry and everyone and everything within it, has the opportunity to leave their mark. Operators and vendors of the casino, arcade, bingo and amusement world all come together in the one venue to do business and show off their products and services.
As well as events and roadshows such as The Irish Gaming Show, Dublin is also home to the Giga Bite Café. As you may guess from the name, the Giga Bite Café is designed for gamers and is open to people of all ages and abilities. So, whether someone is new to the gaming scene, or an expert who has played titles all their life, they will be welcome and made to feel at ease at the venue located in Town Square.
At Giga Bite Café, gamers will be able to use the latest state-of-the-art tech such as high-powered gaming machines capable of handling even the most demanding of titles. Consoles, arcade machines and more will also be available, as well as the café regularly hosting tournaments for players to compete in alongside others. And, as it is also a café, refreshments and snacks are available on demand.
Moving over to the more geeky way of life in Dublin, the Comic-Con events which take place throughout the year are very much the jewel in the crown. Dublin Comic-Con, which is returning for its eight-year, is the place to be for everyone interested in comic books, characters and those involved in the industry. Comic creators, SFX experts, media, cosplayers, artists and, of course, fans, will all be able to mingle at the Convention Centre Dublin, known locally as The CCD.
Demos, workshops, interactive displays and activities, as well as on-site entertainment, make the Dublin Comic Con a geek’s paradise. It’s an inclusive event, and another prime example of Dublin being a hub for those in the various gaming and geeky communities. So, if you’re ever in the city, be sure to check out the various events which may be taking place, or stop by at the Giga Bite Gaming Café. And, as everyone knows, Dublin is home to a clutch of fantastic casinos, which cater for players of all talents, providing them with the opportunity to spin the reels of the latest slot games.
