World Poker Tour Tilt Events have inked a deal that will see the two working together to produce World Poker Tour National Series events in the Italian cities of Venice and San Remo.

The World Poker Tour (WPT) continues to place emphasis on their European National Series model after agreeing a deal with the Italian poker industry event organizer Tilt Events.

The pair, who has worked together before, will host three WPT National Series events in 2015. Two of them will be held in the Casino di Venezia Ca’Vendramin Calergi, in the floating city of Venice, and a third event will be held in the Casino di San Remo, in San Remo.

The Italian poker operator Gioco Digitale will sponsor the events. A brand that was acquired, in 2009, by WPT owners bwin, one year before they merged with partypoker to create Bwin.party Digital Entertainment.
