Many poker players in Europe have been itching for live-action with most casinos closed throughout the continent and international festivals put on hold.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel with something new and exciting recently announced with Cash Game Festival Co-Founder Martin 'Franke' von Zweigbergk and Acroud Ltd as the driving forces behind a brand new festival, aptly called The Festival.

The first event is scheduled for June 7-13 at the Olympic Park Casino with a second event also on the schedule this year to take place in Bratislava at Banco Casino on Sept. 20-26.

Unique Roulette & Blackjack Tournaments Alongside Poker

The Festival Series is something that the poker world has never seen before, at least on such a grand scale. The series features not only a robust tournament schedule and nonstop cash games but also features innovative casino and sports wagering events as well.

von Zweigbergk, known as 'Franke' to the poker world, has been creating poker events mainly in the Nordic market since 2006, and is well-known for his innovative ideas in the past. He co-created the first-ever poker festival dedicated to cash game players aptly named The Cash Game Festival, where poker players had a full experience including VIP activities including VIP parties, world-class dinners, and more away from the poker felt.

Expect something special at The Festival as well with von Zweigbergk planning many great events outside of the casino as part of a VIP package for both events on tap this year.

PokerNews will be present at both events to not only bring you blow-by-blow coverage of the Main Event but also share the excitement of the other events as well whether they be poker, casino, sports wagering, or away from the casino entirely.

The Festival Comes to Tallinn June 7-13

The premier event for The Festival takes place in the majestic Estonia capital of Tallinn from June 7-13 at the Olympic Park Casino and its connecting hotel and conference area at the Hilton Tallinn Park. The highlight of the series is the €550 NLHE Main Event scheduled to take place June 8-12.

There are not only plenty of other hold'em events on the schedule but mixed game enthusiasts have something to be excited about as well with tournaments planned in many different poker variants including Pot-Limit Omaha (both four- and five-card), Sviten Special, Open Face Chinese Pineapple, 8-Game, and Dealer's Choice.

This is not all for those just coming for poker as there will be nonstop cash games running 24/7 available in any poker variant you can think of at stakes both low and high.

Additionally, The Festival boasts both a Blackjack tournament and Roulette tournament. Both of these events feature a €250 buy-in and run from June 7-12. Other non-poker events will be added to the schedule for Bratislava including a Sports Wagering tournament.

Hosts Excited for Return of Live Play

'Franke' couldn't be any more thrilled about bringing together poker, casino games, sports wagering, and more under one roof. 'It’s super exciting to see this all finally line up and fall into place,' von Zweigbergk shared.

'I’m thrilled to be part of the premiere The Festival in Tallinn”, said Risto Suurpõld, Olympic Park Casino Manager. “I see this as an excellent opportunity to provide players with something fresh. A great experience, and some worthy prizes along the way. We hope to serve as a long-time partner for the series.'

How to Qualify for The Festival

The Festival has announced four partners with about a dozen more to come according to von Zweigbergk. Both Paf and OlyBet, the online arm of Olympic Casino that operates on the GGPoker Network, have been announced as partners where players can win a package including tournament buy-ins, hotel accommodations, a VIP package, and more.

Olympic Casino, which recently closed its doors for a month, is also an announced partner where players will be able to qualify for events on The Festival schedule for a fraction of the cost.

In addition, The Festival will be hosting live streams leading up to the event on its The Festival OG Twitch channel where giveaways will also take place.

With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to keep informed about whether you will be able to travel to Estonia without quarantine as things can change quickly. Up-to-date information on countries and self-isolation requirements for passengers can be found on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs homepage.

The Original Sokos Hotel Viru Tallinn is a hotel in Tallinn, Estonia. Originally owned by Intourist and called Viru hotell, it was first opened on 5 May 1972. The hotel building was the first high-rise building in Estonia and an inseparable part of the Tallinn cityscape. Nowadays the hotel is connected to the shopping centreViru Keskus. Nowadays, the hotel belongs to Sokos Hotels.

The Soviet Union gave the construction project of Viru hotel to the construction company Repo Oy from Savonlinna, Finland in 1969, and construction of the hotel started in July 1969. However, the construction company went bankrupt in the middle of the construction project in 1971, after a fire had broken out on the top floors of the hotel in December 1970. Because of prestige reasons, the Finnish state had to find another construction company, and provide a state backing for the project. The new construction company Haka Oy finished the hotel in May 1972. The project paid well off, because it resulted in a new construction project in Pääjärvi in the same year, and later new construction projects in Enso and Kostamus (all these being in the Republic of Karelia).[1]

During the Soviet era, the 23rd floor of the hotel housed a KGB radio centre, used to eavesdrop and spy on the hotel guests. 60 of the hotel rooms had concealed espionage devices, and even some of the tables in the restaurant had microphones. The KGB left the hotel in a hurry right before the independence of Estonia in August 1991, but the secret rooms were not found until 1994. The former radio centre is now a museum.[2]

In 2003, the hotel was sold to the S Group, a Finnish retailingcooperative organisation. It now has 516 rooms.[3]
