Riga's poker room, inside the Radisson Blu Latvija on Elizabetes iela. Open 24 hours, a handful of permanent tables and the OlyBet Showdown every spring.
Verified 10 September 2026The room
Olympic Voodoo Casino is the largest casino in the Baltic states and sits inside the Radisson Blu Latvija Conference & Spa Hotel on Elizabetes iela, a few minutes from the Freedom Monument and the Old Town. The floor carries fifteen live table games, three of them poker, alongside slots and electronic roulette. Cash games and daily tournaments run in that small permanent room; the serious volume arrives with the festivals, when the hotel’s conference space is turned over to poker.
Festivals
The OlyBet Showdown comes to Riga in the spring for nine days and thirty-plus tournaments, and The Festival stops here as well. Between series the room is a normal hotel card room rather than a destination, so plan around the calendar published by the casino and the tour.
Practical details
The casino is open 24 hours. Entry is free and identity is verified on registration, so bring a passport or EU ID card; the statutory minimum age is 18 although house rules can be stricter. Games are in euros. Riga’s airport is about twenty minutes from the hotel by taxi, and Tallinn and Vilnius are each a four-hour bus ride, which makes the Baltic festivals easy to string together.
Frequently asked questions
Is poker running outside festival weeks?
The permanent poker table count is small, so the game depends on demand. Outside the festivals it is worth checking with the casino before making a trip specifically for cash.
What do I need to get in?
A passport or EU ID card. The statutory minimum age in Latvia is 18, though some venues apply a stricter 21 house rule, so check before you travel.
