The Ho Tram Poker Experience

The poker action at The Grand Ho Tram centres on seasonal international festivals, drawing a high-caliber field of regional and global players to its dedicated poker room, managed by professional international operators. The venue is renowned for its tournament play across No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha formats. As of early 2026, the casino has transitioned to local currency (VND) for all wagering, aligning with updated government regulations.
For tournament players, the venue offers the 1,500-capacity Grand Ballroom, which has hosted record-breaking fields for regional championships and global tours. Beyond the tables, the resort is a lifestyle destination; players can enjoy the award-winning buffet—cited as one of the best in Vietnam—or unwind at the Azure Beach Lounge between tournament flights.
