CasinoRip.com is hoping to promote the social aspect of its live, person-to-person games by holding a huge Valentine's Day blackjack tournament for over 500 people.

The match-making staff at CasinoRip hope that their social gaming platform yields a blossoming relationship or at least win someone some money.

The top prize will include a romantic dinner for two at the casino at The Empire in Leicester Square, London, and £150 in chips to spend in the casino afterwards.

The site will host the online knockout for up to 512 players with the first round of matches starting simultaneously at 8pm on February 14. The event is open to all UK residents aged 18 or over, regardless of ability or relationship status.
