The casino's official statement to poker guests at home and abroad saddened not only Slovak Series Of Poker enthusiasts, but also the organizer, who had been preparing the festival to the last detail for several months and was thwarted by a decision that is very difficult to read.

“Dear guests, we are very sorry, but due to the situation, we will have to postpone the long-awaited Slovak Series Of Poker Main Event. After communicating with the Public Health Office of the Slovak Republic and the measures taken by its bureau, with regard to the worsening epidemiological situation in Slovakia and surrounding countries, we were asked to reconsider the organization of the tournament in the upcoming days, also with regard to the planned higher participation of the poker community. Due to the fact that we want to behave responsibly and avoid possible inconveniences, we have decided to postpone the Slovak Series Of Poker Main Event indefinitely. We apologize for the situation and we are preparing substitutional program, watch the social networks of Banco Casino for more information ". The marketing director Ján Packa informed the guests.

The Slovak Series Of Poker HIGHROLLER will take place today, crowning the "heavyweight" champion, with entry fee 500€ + 50€.
