The online operator announced a four-year deal with eight live events every year.
The deal will officially start in May with the
WSOP-C Russia, a debuting event in Russia and will be followed up with
Partypoker MILLIONS Russia in August,
Eurasia Poker Tour (EAPT) and the
Russian Poker Championships in October.
In Russia, online poker is considered illegal but a law, introduced in 2014 created a special gambling zone in Sochi which allowed casinos in the region.
Partypoker has already worked with
Casino Sochi and Resort back in January 2017, when they organized a two-week long festival there as a stop of their MILLIONS Tour.
“We were not only the first global poker operator to run an event in Sochi, we also staged the largest poker tournament in Russian history, therefore we are really thrilled [with] our new partnership with Casino Sochi and [are] looking forward to a long and dynamic relationship,” said Partypoker LIVE president John Duthie.
“Sochi is such a fantastic resort and offers an amazing experience for players, both on and off the felt. The casino has only been open a relatively short time but has already made its mark on the international live poker circuit, providing a top new destination for players as well as helping to fuel passion for the game across the whole region,” - he added.
