King’s Resort Rozvadov — a haven for poker enthusiasts

King’s Resort in Rozvadov, Czech Republic, is Europe’s premier poker club and one of the most famous casinos in the world. Located right on the German-Czech border, just two hours from Munich and Nuremberg, it has become a convenient hub for players from across the continent. Its main feature is the unprecedented scale of poker tournaments: the venue hosts stages of the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) along with hundreds of events every year.

King’s Resort is more than just poker: it is a modern resort with a hotel, restaurants, a spa complex, and entertainment programs. A fascinating fact: on major tournament days, the halls gather more than 5,000 players, with prize pools reaching tens of millions of euros.

History

King’s Resort opened in 2003, founded by businessman Leon Tsoukernik. Initially a small poker club, it quickly grew into the largest casino in Central Europe. In 2017, it hosted the World Series of Poker Europe for the first time, cementing Rozvadov’s reputation as the “Poker Capital of Europe.”

Between 2018 and 2019, the resort underwent a full-scale renovation: a luxury hotel with 200 rooms, a spa complex, and new gaming halls were added. Today, King’s Resort stands not only for poker but also as a complete leisure destination — “Vegas in Europe.”
