Tournaments follow international TDA (Tournament Directors Association) rules. Most tournaments utilize a Big Blind Ante format to speed up play. PDF documents containing detailed structures will be available at the tournament director’s desk.

The registration desk is located directly at the entrance of the LeS A Casino poker room. A valid passport and the casino membership card (free to obtain) are required for registration.
