Some brands debut.
Some brands launch.
BooRay! proves.
And we don’t need smoke machines or a grand reveal—we need tables. We need competition. We need culture. And that’s exactly what’s going down at Galway Live! + ARENA 2025, the next proving ground for a card game that’s redefining how the world thinks about casino table games, luxury lifestyle branding, and cultural activation.
So…What Exactly Is Galway Live! + ARENA?
It’s where next-gen sports, media, and entertainment collide. It’s the brainchild of Galway Holdings, a multibillion financial powerhouse and strategic advisory firm owned by the Carlyle Group and Oak Hill Capital that doesn’t just move capital—it moves culture. Through its vertical GalwayPlus Sports + Entertainment, they’re tapping into high-growth, high-impact properties that don’t just talk about “engagement” and “innovation”—they create it.
Live! + ARENA is Galway’s platform to bring all of that under one roof. It’s where decision-makers, athletes, VCs, founders, media execs, and tastemakers pull up to shake hands, swap stories, and yes—play their hand. And in 2025, that hand just might be a BooRay! Trump Card ♠️♥️♣️????.
When and Where?
Live! + ARENA 2025 marks the second annual edition of this breakout event and will be held at a soon-to-be-announced luxury destination that blends entertainment, sports culture, and capital in ways only Galway can engineer. If you were there last year, you know what it is. If you weren’t—don’t miss this one.
Who’s in the Room?
This isn’t your typical conference crowd. These are global investors. Hall of Famers. Creators of the next wave. Operators. Dealmakers. People who don’t just talk about “building” but actually build the future of sports and entertainment. In other words: exactly the kind of environment where BooRay! thrives.
Why a BooRay! Tournament?
Why not? Galway’s family offices heard the buzz loud and clear from the SCCG G2E 2024 Celebrity BooRay! Exhibition in Las Vegas, where stars like Mark Wahlberg, Mario Chalmers, and Tony Allen brought cards to life. The vibe wasn’t just competitive—it was contagious.
So Galway picked up the phone. They didn’t just want BooRay! at Live! + ARENA. They wanted a full-on tournament. Not as a sideshow. As a centerpiece.
Because they understood what we’ve been saying all along: BooRay! isn’t just a card game. It’s a vibe. It’s a luxury lifestyle brand. It’s a movement.

Crystal hits the stage at Live! + ARENA 2025 as a keynote speaker “Play to Win: Unlocking Value in the Gaming Industry”, he’s not just bringing three decades of global gaming leadership with SCCG Management—he’s bringing the receipts. M&A, tribal gaming, Vegas strategy, and a future-forward blueprint that includes BooRay! as the first casino table game to operate as a luxury lifestyle brand.
As a BooRay! Co-Founder and Director, Steve is helping us scale not just as a table game, but as a force across retail casinos, sweepstakes, RMG platforms, and international markets.
What’s Next?
