Verified 10 September 2026The room
The Casinò di Sanremo is one of only four municipal casinos in Italy, housed in a Liberty-style building above the seafront that has been operating since 1905. Poker is played in the Sala De Sanctis, the room set aside for American games and Texas Hold’em, where both tournaments and cash games run. Larger fields move into the Privè and Privatissimo rooms, which are the spaces the national and international tours use.
Tournaments
Sanremo is the venue Italian poker returns to. It has hosted the Italian Poker Tour and European Poker Tour events over the years and takes the Italian stop of the WSOP International Circuit in the late autumn. Structures and dates are published by the casino and the tour; we link to them rather than copying a calendar that changes every season.
Practical details
The traditional games rooms open in the early afternoon and close between half past two and four in the morning, depending on the day. The minimum age is 18 and a valid original identity document is required at the door. A dress code applies in the table-games rooms. Games are in euros. The town sits on the coastal railway between Genoa and the French border, and Nice airport is about an hour away, which is why the field usually mixes Italian regulars with players from the Côte d’Azur.
