UFC Star Makwan Amirkhani becomes RIZK Casino's live roulette dealer

(PRESS RELEASE) -- He's already dominated in the amateur leagues and will soon conquer the UFC but first, Makwan "Mr. Finland" Amirkhani is taking over the RIZK Casino Live Roulette table.

On Friday, June 3 from 19:00 CEST until 21:00 CEST and on Saturday, June 4 from 15:00 CEST until 17:00 CEST, Makwan will be taking charge of a live roulette table as an honorary croupier. The live chat feature will be active so players will be able to talk to him as he deals and even partake in some pre-fight style banter with one of the UFC's most beguiling fighters.

Makwan has also signed 100 RIZK t-shirts that will be given out to the biggest winners of the weekend, not just on Makwan’s roulette table, but all live dealer tables at Rizk. This is a slightly different arena than the one he's used to, but Mr. Finland is always going to come out swinging.

"I have to admit, I am a bit nervous," Makwan said. "I visited a casino in Helsinki a couple times, maybe five years ago, but never something like this. I am familiar with the games, having played Roulette and a few other games online before. I just hope my excitement doesn't show on the other side of the screen when the games start."

Tim Parker, RIZK's Head of Casino: "Having Makwan in the studio to deal live roulette will be an exciting time for us. I don't remember this being done before and I hope his fans will enjoy watching him deal as much as he will enjoy dealing. Being a croupier is no mean feat, but then again, neither is a flying kick or an 8 second TKO, so I'm sure he'll be fine and we'll be on hand to help him out if he needs it."
