The largest poker room in Europe, host of the World Series of Poker Europe, and organizer of the biggest tournaments in Europe is celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year.

King’s opened its doors on June, 26 2003. Leon Tsoukernik, an antique dealer and self-made millionaire, had a vision. His dream of establishing a first-rate casino near the German-Czech border has taken the poker world by storm, cementing Rozvadov's reputation as Europe's Las Vegas.

Regular poker on a larger scale has been played at King’s since 2006 – the first poker room was on the 1st floor of today’s “old” 5-star rooms.
