Often when a poker trip is being planned, the headache of sorting accommodation ends up falling on one person in the group. Merlin Poker has decided to remove that hassle completely and add a fantastic incentive for players travelling solo or with friends. Players attending the Merlin Poker Cash Game Tour when it returns to Banco Bratislava from May 26th to June 1st, 2026 will receive free accommodation for the duration of the event. The Crowne Plaza, located in the same building as the casino, and the AC Marriott just across the road will be full of travelling players taking advantage of this fantastic promotion and turning the week into a true poker getaway.

The Merlin Poker Cash Game Tour is a relatively new but fast-growing series created specifically for players who love cash games. Instead of the usual tournament focused poker festivals, Merlin Poker is all about deep stacked action, lively tables, and bringing together players from across Europe and beyond. The idea is simple: create great games, in great locations, with a strong international mix of players ready to play.

At the upcoming Banco Bratislava stop there will be plenty of action across a range of stakes in both No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha. Scheduled games include NLH 1-3, 2-5, and 5-10 alongside PLO 2-2, 5-5, and 10-10. Whether you are an aspiring low stakes grinder hoping to take a shot or a seasoned mid to high stakes regular looking for fresh action, there will be tables running throughout the week.

One of the most exciting parts of the Merlin Poker experience is the international community that comes with it. The network already includes players from 47 different countries, meaning every session brings the chance to face new opponents and new playing styles. With games regularly running from 2/2 all the way up to high stakes 50/100, there is always the possibility that the next big game is just about to start.

The tour has already hosted successful stops at Banco Bratislava in October 2025 and at Grand Casino Aš in January 2026. Those events attracted a lively mix of players, particularly from France, Switzerland, and the Benelux region, helping to build a strong reputation for great action and a welcoming atmosphere.

Merlin Poker is about much more than just sitting down at the tables. It is about meeting new people, sharing stories after long sessions, and becoming part of a growing network of cash game players who enjoy travelling for the game. For anyone who feels stuck playing the same regulars at home or constantly hunting for good action, these events offer a refreshing change of pace.

The tour is built on the foundations of PokerTourist.net, one of the largest international communities dedicated to live cash games. After years of connecting players and sharing information about the best places to play around the world, the team decided to bring that community together in real life through the Merlin Poker Cash Game Tour.

By focusing entirely on cash games and offering travel perks such as free hotel stays, Merlin Poker is helping create a more vibrant and social cash game scene in Europe. It is poker, travel, and community all rolled into one.

With a full week of games, a packed hotel full of fellow players, and action running day and night, the upcoming Banco Bratislava stop is shaping up to feel less like a normal poker trip and more like a proper poker holiday. For anyone who enjoys live cash games, good company, and the buzz of a busy poker room, this is one event that is well worth marking in the calendar.
