888poker LIVE 2020 Schedule Details
The 888poker LIVE tour kicks off with a new stop in the Spanish capital of Madrid at the Casino Gran Via on Jan. 23 to Feb. 3.
The festival guarantees €1 million including the lucrative 888poker LIVE Madrid €888 Main Event featuring a massive €800,000 guarantee. There are plenty of satellites and feeder tournaments already running at 888poker where players can win packages for as low as $0.01.
A couple of days later, the tour will head over to the British capital of London at the Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City for the 888poker LIVE London Weekend on Feb. 5-9. Expect many players from the gaming industry to play in this event as it coincides with one of the industry's biggest conventions the 2020 London Affiliate Conference (LAC).
The following month on March 23-29, the festival heads to the Romanian capital of Bucharest where you might not see Dracula but should instead witness a big poker festival. Last year, the €300,000 guarantee for the Main Event was smashed when 505 entrants generated a €387,638 with Darius Neagoe shipping the event for a cool €62,000 and a 2019 WSOP Main Event package valued at $12,600.
It's back to Spain, this time to one of the tour's most popular spots in sunny Barcelona for an action-packed festival on May 14-25 at the Casino Barcelona. The casino is located literally on the beach giving players a chance to enjoy some Mediterranean sunshine while not battling it out on the felts.

Live Casino studios can be found in various different countries around the world, although arguably, Malta is home to some of the most popular and finest. In fact, Malta is considered a hot spot for all things related to casinos, whether they be land-based, online or a live casino studio, and the island is home to two well-known establishments in Dragonara and Portomaso Casino.
Live Casino
Each live studio based in Malta plays host to a selection of professional dealers, all of which are fully trained and knowledgeable in casino games. As it happens, Malta has its very own academy for such roles, known as the Online Live Casino Academy (OLCA). There, a two-tiered course is offered that combines the skills of both croupiers and live dealers, so you can feel safe in the knowledge that the dealers from Malta's live studios are fully informed and aware of their jobs. Furthermore, because English is an official language in the country, all dealers speak such at a high level, allowing you to understand and converse with them easily.
