European poker tour is officially conducted by pokerstars.com, the tour actually began in 2004. Officially Texas hold’em is the famous gamed played by players, participating in this tour. This tournament or tour is similar to the popular World Poker Tour or WPT.

The first three seasons of EPT were splendid; especially the theory of gaming and also the buy-in rules were outstanding. World Poker Tour which until now had the popularity name and fame just degraded its appearance in Europe because of the euro poker tour. Generally when any player wishes to play poker in Europe, players visit European casinos to play European poker games.

European casinos are known for awesome bonuses and extreme high-end poker games. Thousands of players visit European casinos to play special games. Most of the European players love to play Texas hold’em, other games like razz poker, Omaha poker, seven card stud are also well played at casinos in Europe.


European poker tour history says that the buy-in for the event would be around 8,000 euros. In 2007 the EPT has turned into a new world, and allows players to play for huge buy-ins. The buy-in that time was around 10,000 USD. In earlier European poker tours only six players were allowed to play the game, and that system was also changed and bench strength was increased to eight. European poker tour is mainly sponsored by pokerstars, although there are other sponsors too.

One of the most popular announced made is that this time not only male poker players are going to participate, but female poker players are also going to play, this is really a good news. There will be a dedicated weekend for female poker players, and they would be playing their natural poker game.

The European poker tour, as always said is one of the best reputed tournaments. Most of the European casinos arrange satellite tournaments and allow them to get entry into the final event of the EPT. The PCA (Poker Caribbean adventure) satellite tournaments are going to begin in this month, so players must hurry. PokerStars runs this tournament both for generating the revenue, as well as for charity. This time PokerStars is giving players a chance to donate some part of their winnings to the worlds AIDS research organization. This event will be arranged on January eight and all players would be participating in this event.

The European poker tour in London has already finished and the coming event in PCA (Poker Caribbean Adventure) and that would take place in between January 4-14 2010.
