Coleen could be spinning for England in Sun City casinos
As billions of people turn their attention to South Africa this week, Kerching online casino is taking a closer look at the country's gambling heartland - Sun City.
The World Cup kicks off on Friday but the Rainbow Nation is about more than just football stadiums. Sun City is nothing short of Africa's gambling capital and a worthy rival to Las Vegas, Macau and Monte Carlo.
A Sun City tour
In case you haven't heard of it before, Sun City is home to countless designer shops, 27 gourmet restaurants, four hotels, two spas, two golf courses and a crocodile sanctuary. But most importantly of all it is also the location of a world-class casino. Two of them, in fact.
The South Africa casino resort is just two-hour's drive north-west of the capital Johannesburg. But according to the Sun, it is a mere 30 minutes away from the England football team's World Cup training camp, the Royal Bafokeng Sports Campus in Rustenberg. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised to hear then that some of England's most famous (and infamous) Wags have adopted Sun City as their own World Cup base.
Sun City Wags
Frank Lampard's girlfriend Christine Bleakley, Joe Cole's wife Carly Zucker and John Terry's other half Toni Poole have all booked rooms. Meanwhile, Coleen Rooney and Steven Gerrard's wife Alex Curran are also tipped to show up if England get past the group stages. Since England boss Fabio Capello has ordered the Wags can only see their partners once a week to minimise distractions, they should have plenty of time to check out Sun City's roulette wheels, blackjack tables and casino slots.
Sonia Booth, wife of South Africa star Matthew, has given England's Wags a taste of what to expect:
"Sun City is the perfect destination for the girls because it is all about luxury here. Whether the girls want to party, relax or have a family break, everything is on tap here. You can let your hair down at bars and clubs and it's only a 20-minute helicopter ride to Johannesburg."
In case it's not already in your diary, the World Cup final takes place in Johannesburg on Sunday, July 11th 2010. Kerching online casino can only hope that the Wags will be flying in to watch their boys lift the Jules Rimet trophy. Who knows, maybe they'll also be celebrating a big win on the Sun City roulette wheels?
