Captained by Federico Brunato, the professional team at King's Resort runs an amazing poker room and hotel facility that any city in the world would be proud to have.

5. Hospitality Schedule
The Festival offers a great way of spending time away from the tables, and to blow off some steam with fellow other online qualifiers. The hospitality events are key to our live events, and that will be no different in Rozvadov.
Where Rozvadov is known for offering the best poker games, with enourmous fields and prize pools, it is not particularly known for offering things to do outside the poker venue. With The Festival, we are changing that!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the easiest way to travel to Rozvadov?
In our experience, if you do not live in the range to be able to travel by car, the best possible option is to fly to Prague. From there onwards, you have several options, such as renting a car. In terms of costs and to be able to have the liberty to wander around, it's the most +ev option! Alternatively, contact King's Resort to use their shuttle service.
When will the Tournament Schedule be available?
We are currently working alongside King's Casino to finalise the tournament schedule. It will become a seven-day tournament series, which requires a lot of planning in terms of availability, staffing, and more. Of course, we will be way ahead of the actual series. You can be certain of that!
What else can you do in Rozvadov besides playing poker?
Rozvadov is a small and cosy town. It is challenging to find activities to do outside poker. This is where The Festival Series comes in! We offer hospitality packages to our online qualifiers, of which you can be certain to have plenty of side activities scheduled throughout the entire series! On top of that, there are plenty of things to be seen/done in Rozvadov: Nature, Spa/Wellness, Restaurants, sports facilities, and so on.
Will there be new additions to the schedule when it comes to unique tournaments?
We always aim to bring fresh and exciting formats to our events, but for this weekend, nothing has been confirmed as of yet. Last year in Bratislava, we introduced the first-ever Chicago European Championships, which proved to be a smash hit with players from across Europe.
