Are you as excited as we are? The full schedule for The Festival in Bratislava is finally out. The event is promising to be the largest yet, running from the 10th to the 16th of October. What we’re interested in today is the schedule. It’s finally here!
The venue where 50 events will take place is the fabulous Banco Casino in Bratislava. The Main Event comes with a mammoth prize of €500,000! The buy-ins for the events will range from €60 to €1,100, so almost anyone can participate.
The main event has a €500,000 guarantee!
The biggest pull of The Festival is the Main Event and we’re not surprised at all. This year, from Tuesday, October 11 through Friday, October 14, you can participate and have a shot at a pretty hefty reward of half a million euros!
It is anticipated that more than a thousand people will participate in the Main Event. What’s also thrilling is that the €500,000 prize pool is the largest in the history of The Festival.
The buy-in is €550. There will be five starting flights to the event and one turbo flight. If you wish to enter the event, you can do it twice per flight and during the first levels of Day 2 on Saturday.
Blackjack, Roulette, and Sportsbook – Tournaments and events
There’s much more to do in Bratislava during The Festival week other than trying your luck in the Main Event.
The Festival is back with three casino tournaments and sportsbook events. You can also have a shot at numerous smaller poker tournaments.
If you wish to participate in the Roulette or Blackjack Championship, you must first pass the qualifying rounds. They will take place throughout the week, while the finals will be on Thursday and Friday.
The punters among you will find the Matching Visions Slots Tournament and two Gambling Cabin Sportsbook Tournaments more interesting.
