Not long to go now until the most glamorous of poker tournaments get underway.

The Ultimate Bet Aruba challenge is possible the nicest poker tournament environments ever!

For those lucky players who have won a seat in one of UltimateBet’s satellite tournaments don’t need to waste time looking up any tourist information because we have found the top five facts all people visiting the area should know about Aruba.

1. Unlike much of the Caribbean region, Aruba has a dry climate and an arid, cactus-strewn landscape.
2. Whilst the official language is Dutch, the cultural mixture has given rise to a linguistic mixture known as Papiamento, the predominant language on Aruba.
3. Aruba’s capital is Oranjestad. Population: 30,000 (UN estimate 2005).
4. The highlight of Aruba’s nightlife, however, is the casinos; most open from 1100 until the early morning, with a few opening 24 hours
5. As a ‘free zone’, duty on most items in Aruba is so low that shopping here can have obvious advantages

So even if you don’t get far in the tournament you can enjoy the hot weather, casinos and duty free!
