There’s talk the poker tournament series could give up on King’s Casino

Rumors are circulating that the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) could be leaving Rozvadov, Czech Republic, after 2025. The long-running partnership between the WSOP and King’s Casino may be nearing its end, with several professional players hinting that next year’s series could take place in Prague instead. While no official statement has been made, industry chatter suggests a move is under serious consideration.

The speculation gained traction after several high-stakes players, including Mustapha Kanit, discussed the possibility of a relocation on social media. Kanit was openly critical of King’s Casino and claimed that multiple insiders had told him the WSOPE was preparing to shift venues. Others in the poker community echoed similar claims, suggesting that Prague has emerged as the leading candidate to host the series in 2026.

If true, the change would mark the end of an eight-year run in Rozvadov, where the WSOPE has been held since 2017. While King’s Casino is renowned for its world-class poker facilities, Rozvadov’s remote location has often been viewed as a drawback. Players and fans have long voiced frustration about the lack of nearby attractions and limited travel options compared to more urban settings.

Prague, meanwhile, offers a clear contrast. The Czech capital is one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations and already has a strong poker presence, having hosted numerous European Poker Tour (EPT) events. With reports suggesting that there may be no EPT Prague in 2026, many believe the WSOPE could fill that gap perfectly.

Attendance numbers in recent WSOPE events have also fueled discussion about the need for a new venue. Smaller fields and lower visibility compared to WSOP Online and WSOP Paradise have raised questions about the series’ long-term direction. A move to Prague could breathe new life into the European leg of poker’s biggest brand.

For now, the rumors remain unconfirmed, but an announcement could arrive soon, possibly before the end of the current WSOPE Main Event.
