The Festival Series Bratislava 2024

The Festival Series Bratislava 2024

The Festival Series 2024 has been nothing short but epic, with our first-ever stop at King's Resort in Rozvadov, and at the Portomaso Casino in Malta. Now that the summer is behind us, it's time for our grand final event of 2024— The Festival Series Bratislava! Great live tournaments, enjoyable cash games, hospitality events, and casino games tournaments— You will find them all in the capital city of Slovakia!

Now, the countdown has officially kickstarted—and it's a big one. From November 18 to 24, 2024, we’re headed back to where it all began: Banco Casino in Bratislava. After a wildly successful third trip to this poker hotspot, we can't wait to return.

Banco Casino's Marketing Director, Jan Packa, summed up the excitement perfectly after the previous event:
"The third edition was a huge success, and I’d like to thank all the players for coming back to Banco Casino. We hope we’ve met their expectations, and a big thanks goes to everyone involved, from the incredible team at the casino to The Festival’s organizers. We’re already looking forward to the next edition!"

A Little History: From Humble Beginnings to Record-Breaking Wins

The Festival Series made its debut at Banco Casino back in 2021, where Martin Mauthner etched his name in history, taking down 621 players to claim the €59,000 top prize in a thrilling three-way deal. Since then, we've been working hard to straighten out things and make the tournament schedules even more balanced, in favour of the players. The second edition in Bratislava would turn out to be epic!

In fact, the series shattered Slovakian poker records with the first-ever €500,000 guaranteed event, and it was the largest in The Festival’s history. The Netherlands’ Michel Molenaar dominated a field of 1,261 entries, walking away with a stunning €126,650 for his €550 Main Event victory. And who could forget Gabriel Rymar, who made his mark in 2023 by winning both the Main Event (€80,000) and the Bratislava Deepstack (€14,400)?

But the excitement didn't stop there. The Festival Series also launched the first-ever HORSES Mixed Main Event—combining the classic HORSE games with Sviten Special, cementing itself in poker history, and which better winner we could have than Jon Kyte from Norway?

Why Festival Series Love Banco Casino

Banco Casino and The Festival Series share a unique partnership built on passion, creativity, and a love for the game. Banco Casino is hosting many live events, The Festival Series is offering many formats, and tournaments. Banco Casino's Jan Packa couldn't be prouder:
"It’s been incredible to see The Festival break records here in Slovakia, including hosting the largest mixed games event in our region. The collaboration between The Festival and Banco Casino brings joy to poker players from all over. Once a year, they can experience a constellation of tournaments, including some you just won’t find anywhere else!"
