A Glasgow bar is holding a special charity event for World Gaming Day.
City centre bar Super Bario is calling on gamers to come together and play for Scottish charity Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland (SBHS).
On Saturday, October 22, and the week after, the King Street venue will serve specialist cocktails with proceeds going towards SBHS and have donation boxes on site.
Chloé Magee, General Manager at Super Bario said: “We’re delighted to be joining forces with SBH Scotland for the first ever World Gaming Day.
“Our goal when we opened Super Bario was to put the social aspect back into gaming so the opportunity to be involved in a charity event that encourages friends to get together and game for good, was a no-brainer.
“We hope to see lots of our regulars, as well as new gamers, come along on World Gaming Day to show their support for such a fantastic cause.”
All proceeds raised by those who sign up will go directly towards providing personalised support to thousands of children, young people and adults affected by spina bifida and hydrocephalus.

Deborah Roe, Director of Fundraising, for SBH Scotland, said: “We’re thrilled to be announcing our participation in the first-ever World Gaming Day, and as one of the only Scottish charities taking part, we’re calling on Glasgow gamers to get involved and play their favourite games for charity.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for people to get together with their family, friends and work colleagues to have fun and every £1 raised will go a long way in making a positive difference to the lives of thousands of families.
“Once you’ve registered, you’ll have access to a free range of printables and party decorations to jazz up your event and for anyone who raises more than £50 or over, you’ll get a free bobble hat thanks to the team at Big Bobble Hats.
“We’re thrilled also to be partnering with Super Bario and we hope their generosity inspires more Glasgow gamers to join in the fun, all in aid of SBH Scotland.”
