History lesson of the day

As you all know the old principality of Bulgaria is the next stop for our Festival. We’ve gotten some questions on why and how we choose the destinations for our stops. It’s quite a tricky question to answer but I will tro my best any way.
First of all there is a necessity that there is a Casino big enough to host the event. And also, that poker is offered for their guests. Here, of course, many casinos qualify but we only choose the raisins out of the cake to get you, the players, the best experience possible. Therefore, for Bulgaria, we went down there and the decission fell on Platinum Casino in Sunny Beach.
The most important thing though is that we get a good total feeling of the destination. That we get the feeling that there is a lot of possible side activites, good food and great hospitality. Another critera to qualify is of course that there is local players going to the casino daily and for Malta it sure was, London we don’t need to mention and in Bulgaria, even though tourism is big there, we are still looking forward that many locals and close by living will show up at the casino.
Are you ready for a history lesson in why you should come to Bulgaria? Okay, here we go!
As mentioned before, Bulgaria is a old principality, now being a formal republic. There is little above 7 Million people living there and the tourism is their most important source of income. They been participating in both WWI and WWII and where a communist state until the Soviet fell in the early 90’s. Bulgaria is also a member of the European Union and their native language, which is a Slavic language, is Bulgarian. But we will manage to communicate in English so no need to worry about that!
There is a lot of nice cathedrals in the country which you could be cultural and pay a visit. I will for sure do it myself, even though I’m not that religous. There surely is something with churces. The biggest sports is football, heavyweight lifting and biathlon. The food is also very nice and they are famous for there good goat cheese. Looking forward to try the local food and beer for sure!
I hope you all learnt something today and make sure to join us on our journey on the conquest of yet another poker country!
Until next time,
