The Festival Series 2025 – Hospitality Program Rozvadov
Rozvadov June 6-16. The Festival Series will kick off the first event of the year in style, at Europe's largest live poker venue. The King's Casino is known for delivering excellent tournaments with great structures, combine these ingredients with 72 unique tournaments of The Festival Series, and you have a recipe for a lot of fun, success, and competition!
We always try to be diverse with our live events, it's not all just about poker and winning trophies. To have fun outside the tables is perhaps even more important as a whole, meeting new friends from all over, and simply spending a good time away from your hotel room.
Last year, it was our first event at King's Casino in Rozvadov, and the hospitality events have been epic all the way through! Now, going for the second time to Rozvadov, we are spicing it up even more with outdoor fun, The Festival Olympics, a Beer-Pong competition, and of course, Hospitality FLIPS! Check out the full schedule below so you are fully aware of what is going on between June 6 and June 16:
IMPORTANT: The Hospitality Program only applies to Online Qualifiers with the Hospitality deal included in their package. Check out the online qualifier page on how to get your hands on one of these packages and which operators have Hospitality included in their Festival package. Here is the link.
