Acroud launches The Festival Series in Bratislava
Acroud returns to the live events scene with the launch of the first edition of The Festival Series. By doing so, Acroud is strengthening its position as the bridge between land-based gaming and affiliation to create opportunities to connect operators with the player communities while also producing high-quality content to grow its digital flagship products, such as Pokerlistings.com and CasinoTop10.net.
The inaugural week-long event is a first of its kind mixed games format, incorporating Roulette, Blackjack and competitive Sportsbetting tournaments into a complete Poker tournament schedule. During the event, Acroud will host The Gambling Cabin's Sportsbook and Matching Vision's Slots tournaments. Whereas the (€550 buy-in) Main Event comes with a guaranteed prize pool of 300.000 Euros.
"We want the first event to be explosive! The Festival Series is something that the gaming world has never seen before on such a scale, featuring not only nonstop poker action but also boasting innovative casino and sports wagering events," says Martin von Zweigbergk, Director of Live Events at Acroud.
To elevate players' experience, Acroud has launched The Festival Series App, which enables networking, provides content, and keeps attendees updated before, during, and after the event. In addition, Acroud has introduced its Play Money pool betting solution on play.thefestival.com.
"Besides bringing innovation to gaming festivals and facilitating more inclusion among those who are more apt to play games outside of poker, The Festival Series intends to create a complete experience both on and off the felt," says Robert Andersson, CEO and President, Acroud.
