Spring Poker in Banco Bratislava: Four Major Festivals with €2,000,000 GTD!
Spring 2026 in Banco Bratislava will belong to international poker. Over the course of the next three months, Slovakia’s capital will host four major international poker festivals, bringing huge guarantees, strong international player fields, and the kind of atmosphere normally reserved for the biggest poker events in Europe. From April to June, the poker community will have only one destination – the poker tables of Banco Bratislava, where tournaments will feature more than €2,000,000 in guaranteed prize pools with highly attractive buy-ins.
Slovak Poker Open – The Start of a Big Spring
The first highlight of the spring season will be the Slovak Poker Open, taking place April 7–13, 2026. The fourth edition of the festival will feature a €300,000 GTD Main Event with a €250 buy-in, an event that attracts hundreds of players from across Europe every year.
Alongside the Main Event, players can also look forward to a High Roller tournament and a wide range of side events, while strong cash game action will naturally run throughout the entire festival.
Euro Poker Championship – International Competition
The action continues immediately with another major festival – the Euro Poker Championship, scheduled for April 27 – May 4, 2026. Once again, the centerpiece will be a €250,000 GTD Main Event, played for a €220 + €30 buy-in.
EPC will bring players from many countries to Bratislava and promises a full week of high-quality tournament action combined with exciting cash games.
Polish Poker Cup Spring Edition – Poker in May
May continues in style with the Polish Poker Cup Spring Edition, running May 18–25, 2026. The festival will once again feature a €250,000 GTD Main Event with a buy-in of just €150.
Following the success of previous editions, a large turnout of players from across Europe is expected. As always, the schedule will include numerous side events, making the series one of the most popular poker festivals in the region.
Banco Casino Masters – The Legend Continues
The poker spring will conclude — and at the same time kick off the summer — with one of the most iconic tournaments in Banco: Banco Casino Masters, featuring a €250,000 guarantee for a buy-in of just €170.
Over the years, this event has built a reputation as one of the most popular tournaments in Central Europe, regularly attracting huge player fields and an incredible atmosphere at the tables. The big question remains: who will become the 44th champion?
Bratislava as a European Poker Hub
Four major festivals, massive guarantees, and an international field of players — all of this makes Banco Bratislava one of the most exciting poker destinations in Europe during spring 2026.
Whether you are a recreational player or an experienced professional, the coming months offer the perfect opportunity to compete for big prize pools and experience the atmosphere of major poker events right in the heart of Bratislava.
