The Bermudian game of Crown and Anchor will be on the table at the America’s Cup Village today and during every week in June, according to organisers.

Run by local company 14/68 Entertainment Limited, four Crown and Anchor tables will be set up inside tents located next to the main stage, with an ACBDA spokeswoman saying the gaming will add to the party atmosphere already expected across the America’s Cup Village.

“The popular Bermuda game will be available for fans on selected dates, starting on May 27. On that date Wyclef Jean will perform after the start of the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup Qualifier races that day, and the Official Opening Ceremony will also take place that evening, starting at 8.30pm.

“Crown and Anchor will also be available on May 31, which is Ladies Day at the America’s Cup Village and includes themed entertainment and special acts, plus champagne, wine and cocktail promotions and a fashion showcase.”

The tables will open again every weekend in June, coinciding with some of the most important race days on the event calendar.

Crown and Anchor originated in the 18th century and was popular among sailors in the Royal Navy. Locally, it is reserved for special sporting occasions and public holidays, such as Cup Match and now the 35th America’s Cup.
