King’s Casino in Rozvadov Among Locations for 10th Anniversary Season of Eurasian Poker Tour
The Eurasian Poker Tour (EAPT) is celebrating its tenth anniversary this season with big changes planned for the 2023/24 season.
For players looking for reasonably priced poker tournament series over the past 10 years, the Eurasian Poker Tour (EAPT) has been the go-to tour. With the first ever EAPT event in Kyiv and stops in places like the Caribbean and Kazakhstan, the first ten years of the tour have made it one of the most well-known festivals for mid-stakes players in Europe and Asia.
With the 2023/24 season marking the tenth anniversary for the tour, there are some changes in store. While the operators plan to stay with a recreational-friendly €560 Main Event for most stops, there will also be live and online qualifiers for live events, partnership with Luxon Pay to facilitate easy funds transfers and payments, and cash games on-site during festivals from €1/€2 to €50/€100.
Additionally, the new season has confirmed stops in the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, and the UK among others. The 10th-anniversary year will also feature a season-ending Grand Final at Merit Diamond Resort in North Cyprus featuring a $2,750 game.
EAPT Birthday Year Stops in Malta, Cyprus, UK and More
The newest season of the EAPT includes the northernmost tour stop announced to date, in Nottingham, UK, as well as the southernmost in Malta. While it is expected that more locations will be added as the season progresses, there are already a few exciting confirmed spots in Europe and Asia for the new season.

In order to make the tour as recreational-friendly as possible, the games will take place several days before and during the weekend, meaning recreational players who work will still have a decent shot at games in a given series. Additionally, the EAPT schedule is designed to give players a chance to explore the iconic European and Asian locations including the pubs of Nottingham, the shops in Milan, the bustle of Barcelona, the rambling forest walks of Rozvadov, the beauty of Prague and the resort lifestyles of Malta and North Cyprus.
Players who come to an EAPT event will have a pretty good idea what to expect. Organizers have set up a basic structure for the tour giving players a solid idea of when the games they want to play will be happening, no matter where the tour lands.
Structure of an EAPT Series
- Days 1-3: EAPT CUP for €250 and satellites to the High Roller
- Days 3-4: EAPT High Roller for €1,100
- EAPT Main Event Day 1s for €560 and satellites
- Days 5-6: Main Event concludes along with a closing tournament
Luxon Pay Partnership Means Players Need No Cash
The EAPT is partnering with Luxon Pay for the upcoming season, which will make buy-ins and currency transfer much easier for players attending festivals. Luxon Pay is among the most popular eWallet solutions for the poker world, and allows users to hold up to 10 currencies and instant exchange.
Additionally, players can use the app to directly buy into EAPT events and take advantage of commission-free cash outs via bank transfer (SEPA Zone), SWIFT, or through the original payment option. The Luxon Pay app can be funded through many means, including MasterCard and VISA meaning there is no need for poker players to carry cash to events anymore.
