New friends were made while old friends from previous festivals got a chance to catch up. During the 2017 Cash Game Festival London, players with the hospitality package enjoyed welcome drinks, a special viewing of a football match, a world-class dinner, a slide down a huge tower, a VIP party, and a guided city tour.
