A millionaire is a Küng
Once again, the following was announced at the Giesserei in Zurich-Oerlikon: "Place your bets!" and "Rien ne va plus!".
Once again, the following was announced at the Giesserei in Zurich-Oerlikon: "Place your bets!" and "Rien ne va plus!" By Beat Fritsch The SonntagsZeitung hosted the Gambling Night, which has already become a tradition.
The rules are well known: Each invited guest receives a not inconsiderable amount of starting capital and is allowed to compete against the SonntagsZeitung executives at the gaming table. In other words, publishing director Sandra Geiger or Daniel Pauletto sit opposite you as croupiers at blackjack and gamble. Just like in everyday life, right? And whoever has the most money at the end wins - but not money. But a weekend trip to a casino near the border. Which makes more sense at the moment, given the Federal Council's decision on casinos, we will probably never see a real gambling temple in Zurich in the next few decades.
The best Gambling Night player this year was Stephan Küng. He won an exorbitantly high prize of over three million Lucky Dollars. Finally a real customer again, said the SonntagsZeitungs crew with relief. Last year, the first prize went to an advertising manager and the year before last to an advertising agency owner. Küng, on the other hand, is CEO of the media agency Initiative Media and is likely to book as many sales with the SonntagsZeitung as the points he scored. Second place this year went to Urs Arnold from the Allianz Group. Myrtha Hafner, who works for Andy Lehmann at the newly founded Mediahaus Seefeld, came third.
The Unisono team led by Monica Peter and Simon Schweingruber was once again responsible for organizing the games night. As always, Ronnie Scholom from ShowConnection provided the gaming tables and the cards for the croupiers from SonntagsZeitung. They all enjoy the complete trust of Sandra Geiger, who, by the way, is having a pretty tough time at the moment. After the night of gambling, she is now going back to school for a few days. She left for the United States on Monday for a further education program. But only after she had already attended her first appointments early in the morning after the gambling night.
Reto Kammermann, who is inviting his customers to the Touring Rock and Rave Night next week, stuck with Claudia Eggenschwiler and Siegrun Meier for the game. However, they had no chance against star player Küng, even though they had put their stakes together. Peter Döbeli and Pick-Pay advertising manager Sandra Ulrich were also unlucky. And also WerbeWoche. The shortlist author quintupled his fortune in the first 15 minutes of the game, but then it went straight down for a while and finally to zero in just two minutes.
Other guests gambled away their stakes right at the start in such a frivolous manner, only to take advantage of the buffet and bar subito. The liquid offer was generous, and platters of delicious snacks were repeatedly passed around.
So it's not surprising that some visitors were even able to talk their way out of the Lucky Dollars on offer. In fact, some guests simply used the event to have a chat with colleagues without worrying about the pecuniary events at the gaming table. And as is the case after every Gambling Night, everyone, players and non-players alike, went home satisfied.

once again indulged in boundless pleasure at the SonntagsZeitung's Gambling Night. This event is always worthwhile. Where else can you get addicted to gambling with free money (and the shortlist author is anyway)? Where else can you get the freshest rolled puros from Master Jesus Dinerad from Honduras, who always has the best tobacco leaves in his luggage?
As always, we track down those in the communications industry who play the game as homo ludens or are otherwise seen at events on a weekly basis. Do you already have something to report?
