Billi King
Dear guest, welcome to the land of King Billy, known by many names all around the world. Some like to call it the land of online casino games. We call it the land of joy, the land where online casino slots, table games, poker games and jackpots thrive, the land where the worries are little and the bonuses are big!

Billy King (born 12 May 1994) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Irish club St Patrick's Athletic. He has previously played for Heart of Midlothian, Rangers, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Dundee United, Gillingham and Greenock Morton and has represented Scotland up to under-21 level. The term is most famously used for an internationally televised match in 1973 held at the Houston Astrodome between 55 year-old Bobby Riggs and 29 year-old Billie Jean King, which King won in three sets. The match was viewed by an estimated fifty million people in. King is also the author of 'Pressure is a Privilege: Lessons I've Learned from Life and the Battle of the Sexes', released in 2008. King published a memoir in the early 1980s, 'Billie Jean King: The Autobiography', but says she rushed it out at the urging of her then-manager, who was concerned about her finances in the wake of her outing.
NEW YORK (AP) — Billie Jean King has a memoir coming this summer, and she calls it a journey to her “authentic self.”
Alfred A. Knopf announced Thursday that “All In: An Autobiography” will be published Aug. 17. It will cover the highlights of her celebrated and groundbreaking tennis career, including her 39 Grand Slam titles and her defeat of Bobby Riggs in the famous “Battle of the Sexes” match in 1973.
King, 77, will also write about her activism on behalf of women in tennis and beyond, and such private struggles as an eating disorder and acknowledging her sexual identity. She was married to Larry King (no relation to the late broadcaster) for more than a decade before being outed in 1981. She has said she did not feel entirely comfortable being gay until she was 51.
“Early on, what was most apparent to me was that the world I wanted didn’t exist yet,” King writes in her book, according to an excerpt provided by Knopf. “It would be up to my generation to create it.”

King published a memoir in the early 1980s, “Billie Jean King: The Autobiography,” but says she rushed it out at the urging of her then-manager, who was concerned about her finances in the wake of her outing.

“That book was incomplete and written at a moment when I was not ready to share my truth,” she said in a statement to The Associated Press. ”‘All In’ is the first portrait of my life in full, told in my own words.”
