OlyBet Heads to Lithuanionline real cash slotsa for the Showdown Vilnius Festival From May 17

Following a hugely successful Showdown Voodoo Spring festival in Riga, Latvia, OlyBet is heading to Lithuania from May 17 for the OlyBet Showdown Vilnius series. Running from May 17-25 at the Olympic Casino Lietuva, the OlyBet Showdown Vilnius festival boasts 30 tournaments and satellites, including a €1,100 Main Event, €2,200 High Roller, and a €555 Championship Event.

OlyBet was in the Lithuanian capital at the turn of the year. The OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Ace Breaker ran from January 25 through February 2 and saw bumper crowds throughout. This latest series is more akin to the inaugural Kings of Vilnius festival in November 2024 due to the higher buy-in key events.

The €555 No-Limit Hold'em Championship is the first major event of the Vilnius schedule. It runs May 19-22 and should see upwards of 300 entrants. At the Kings of Vilnius festival, 297 players bought in and created a €142,560 prize pool. American Scott Hall came out on top and banked €26,725 after a heads-up deal with Edvinas Grimalis, who collected €21,565.

The €2,200 High Roller is a one-day affair with a slightly higher buy-in than when OlyBet ran a €2,000 High Roller during Kings of Vilnius. On that occasion, an anonymous player left 58 opponents in their wake on their way to scooping a €36,190 top prize.

The pièce de resistance is the €1,100 Main Event, running from May 21 until May 24. Again, looking back at the 2024 Kings of Vilnius, the €1,100 Main Event there attracted 365 entrants who built a €350,400 pot. The tournament ended in a heads-up deal between eventual runner-up Paulius Kostickis and champion Aurimas Stanevicius. They walked away with €53,275 and €61,455, respectively.

OlyBet Showdown Vilnius Schedule

Vilnius has plenty to offer travelers outside of the bustling tournament schedule and 24/7 cash games. The Vilnius Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, while Gediminas Tower offers panoramic views of the city from a medieval fortress.

Then there's the Uzupis part of the city, an independent republic often compared to Montmarte in Paris. In the heart of Lithuania, there's something for everyone.

Remember that if you live in an area where OlyBet operates its online poker site, satellites are available to the Showdown Vilnius events and other OlyBet live events.
