The Festival Series Bratislava: November 18th – 24th, 2024 – Schedule Release!


The Festival Series Bratislava is set to take the poker community by storm from November 18th to 24th. Hosted at the prestigious venue of Banco Casino, the festival promises an exhilarating combination of cash games, mixed games events, and epic hold'em- and casino tournaments. The €500,000 GTD Main Event is back, reason enough to start qualifying online already!
Operators: Bet365 | Betfair | Betfred | Betsafe | Betsson | BoyleSports Poker | CasinoTogether | Champion Poker | Coolbet | Gamdom | Grosvenor Poker | Guts | Holland Casino Online | iPoker | Inbet | Meridianbet | NBD Poker | NetBet | NordicBet | Novibet | Optibet | Paddypower Poker | Paf | partypoker | Planetwin | RedStar | Svenska Spel | Unibet
Our stop in Bratislava always has been the final edition of the year, and adding the historical background we have with the capital city of Slovakia, makes it even more special! The Festival Series stands for fully packed tournament, hospitality, and casino tournament schedules, and it's no different this time! With 50+ tournaments available within 7 days of action, rest assured that not a single person will be sitting on the sidelines at the Banco Casino!
This time players can expect a grand €550 Main Event with €500,000 GTD, The Hendon Mob Championship, H.O.R.S.E.S. Mixed Main Event, and a plethora of Knock Out tournaments, including the newly added 'PL RAZZ KO Madness' tournament! Besides all the poker action, the blackjack, slots, and roulette tournaments also will be available for participation. Last year, it was Polish sensation Gabriel Rymar who scooped two major victories, winning respectively the Main Event, and the Bratislava Deepstack event. Another notable (and record-breaking) journey was the one of Englishman Andrew Hanak, who won a massive THREE tournaments within one series! Who will write poker history in the upcoming event?

The Madness tournaments have always been part of The Festival Series and will be even more returning than ever before. Other notable events are the Sviten Special, PLO Masters, 8-Game Mix, and the 50+ Seniors Event. Speaking of which, will the Swede Joakim Olin go back-to-back-to-back in the Seniors Event? It seems he is unstoppable!




Casino Games Tournaments
The Festival Series is not just about poker, or hospitality events. The casino game tournaments are part of the core of our festival, and just like in previous events, these tournaments will be available in the second part of the series. Last year in Bratislava it was Niklas Dehli (Blackjack), Domagoj Kuterovac (Roulette), and Marita Mägi (Slots), who took home these infamous titles (and the trophy portraits!).
Tournament | Date | Buy-In |
Roulette Championship | Nov 19 - 17:00 CET | €110 + €15 |
Blackjack Championship | Nov 20 - 16:00 CET | €110 + €15 |
Slots Championship | Nov 21 - 19:30 CET | €110 + €15 |
With Franke's Flip 'n Goes (rake-free!) available every evening, you can make sure to keep the buy-ins low during the week. Not only tournaments are being played throughout the week, but the Cash Game Challenge is also available every single evening (NLH+PLO) from Monday to Saturday. Just like the ranking of Franke's Flips, a daily winner will be presented, who then qualifies for the grand final on Sunday. Both finales will decide who will walk away with a full package for the next festival stop!
This time, we will come up with daily standings for one of the most impressive titles of the week- Player of the Series. This ranking includes almost all tournaments of the event, and will also award the winner with a full package for the next stop, to the player who scores best overall.
Online Qualifiers
The online qualifiers already have been available ever since our previous stop in Malta, at the beginning of September. Various operators offer weekly final tournaments where you can get your hands on one of the full packages being awarded, and many of them have the hospitality package included!
Ready, Set, Go, Folks! With a little less than two months until the start of this event, it's the perfect occasion to get yourself buckled up with a full package! Make sure to keep an eye on our Social Media Channels, to be informed about everything that goes with this event and its qualifiers.
Good luck to everyone, and see you in Bratislava!
