The largest casino in Europe has announced today that it will remain closed to visitors until September 1st at the earliest.

King’s Casino, which sits on the Czech/German border in the town of Rozvadov, is one of the most popular poker destinations in the world. While some venues sell themselves on what they offer outside of the game of poker, King’s do the opposite, with almost nothing to offer in Rozvadov itself except the stunning cardroom itself, which has hosted the WSOP Europe, MILLIONS Main Events and many other major events.

Today’s announcement that the venue will remain closed to the poker-playing public has an ominous air to it, therefore. Head to the King’s website and you’ll be greeted with a fairly stark yet staple statement:

“In compliance with the Czech government-issued restrictions on March 12 to prevent the spread of COVID-19, King’s Resort, King’s Casino Prague and Casino Admiral Rozvadov will be temporarily closed from today, 13th of March, until further notice. King’s Resort Team deeply apologizes for any inconvenience these measures may have caused. Please check our social media for any further updates.”
