Poker isn’t just a card game: in fact, it’s a veritable art of living, allowing you to share emotionally-charged moments with players from all over the world.
So why not make the most of your vacation to enjoy the rhythm of the games in dream settings?
Here is our selection of the top three poker destinations:
1) Las Vegas
The former world gaming capital remains a mythical city for all green-carpet lovers.
Every year, it plays host to the prestigious World Series of Poker, a tournament that brings together professionals and amateurs alike, all with a single goal in mind: to win the precious bracelet that will validate their title of World Poker Champion. An event not to be missed, even as a mere spectator!
Beyond the electric atmosphere that reigns around the gaming tables, you have access to a universe rich in activities and thrills. You can fly over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter or hot-air balloon, have a drink at the cult Dowtown Cocktail Room, take in a Cirque du Soleil show…
Sin City is a temple of entertainment, suitable for all types of stay: solo, with friends, as a couple, with the family. With the added bonus of non-stop gaming day and night.
2) Malta
The wild beauty of the Maltese landscape is enchanting! In the heart of the Mediterranean, the archipelago is made up of four sunny islands with a mild climate, even in winter.
Known for its diving spots and archaeological treasures (its capital, Valletta, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the archipelago is a top destination for poker players.
For the past two years, it has hosted its own poker tournament (the Battle of Malta, with €200,000 guaranteed winnings), as well as stages of championships such as the Euro City Poker Tour, the Italian Poker Tour and the Grand Series of Poker.
Malta’s main casinos also offer tourists many low-buy-in games for fun without breaking the bank.
3) Vienna
Closer to France, Vienna is a favorite destination for poker.
Austria’s capital has preserved its architectural heritage and offers a vibrant cultural life. You can even attend concerts at the opera house where Mozart’s most famous works (The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni…) were first performed!
Most casinos welcome players all night long (cash game tables are open 24 hours a day) and take part in internationally renowned tournaments (Vienne Poker Tour, European Poker Tour….).
