The Prague Poker Experience
The poker action at King’s Prague runs 24/7, though the energy truly peaks in the evenings. The room primarily spreads No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha, with cash games typically starting at the €1/€3 NLH and €2/€2 PLO levels. Unlike other local rooms that play in Czech Koruna, King’s operates in Euros, which makes it very convenient for international travelers. The room is professionally run with experienced dealers who are used to the fast-paced action of major televised events.
What makes King’s Prague special is the balance of convenience and class. You can enjoy complimentary non-alcoholic drinks while you play, and the staff is well-versed in English to accommodate the global crowd. While the permanent poker area is smaller than the Rozvadov arena, it expands significantly during major festivals like the Prague Poker Festival. For those who enjoy a break from the cards, the Hilton features the Cloud 9 Sky Bar on the roof, offering some of the best views of the city skyline, all just a short elevator ride from the casino floor.
