Premier poker festival comes to Riga – OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Bounty 2024
Riga is set to become a global destination for poker players as OlyBet announces the expansion of its long-running Showdown poker festival series to Latvia.
The OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Bounty 2024 festival will be held from 14 to 22 September at the prestigious Olympic Voodoo Casino.
Historically, Latvian poker players have had to travel abroad to participate in major tournaments. Now, for the first time ever, an event of this magnitude is coming to Riga, bringing the excitement of high-stakes poker and an international crowd to the Paris of the North.
“We are proud to announce the first large-scale poker festival in Latvia – the OlyBet Voodoo Showdown. We eagerly anticipate welcoming poker enthusiasts to this exciting and unforgettable event!” said Christer Larsson, Group Poker Director at OlyBet.
“This festival is a significant step forward for the poker community in Latvia. It marks a new era in our poker offering and strengthens our position as the country’s leading entertainment and gaming provider. We see this festival as a fantastic opportunity to promote poker culture in Latvia, attract new players, and create an unforgettable experience for all the participants. Our goal is to continue supporting the local poker community and providing world-class events that meet lofty expectations of local and international players alike.”
