Eight Austrian casinos run one Halloween cash game on 31 October, and each sets its own pool
Casinos Austria is running a single coordinated poker cash-game promotion across eight houses on Saturday 31 October 2026, guaranteeing over EUR 5,000 in prizes nationwide and drawing one CAPT Million ticket worth EUR 550 among all winners. The shared idea is the same everywhere — the best hands and the worst beats of the session qualify for a flip — but the hours, the local prize pool and the flip payouts are set casino by casino, and they differ more than the common branding suggests.
Baden, Bregenz, Graz, Seefeld, Linz, Salzburg, Velden and Vienna all take part. Checking each casino's own poker page on 9 October 2026 shows how much the local terms vary.
Bregenz is the biggest and the latest: EUR 1,000 on the table, play from 18:00 to 02:00, and a flip at 02:00 paying EUR 500 in chips for first and EUR 100 for places two to six. Linz also puts up EUR 1,000 but runs 19:00 to 01:00 and pays a flatter ladder — EUR 200 for the flip winner, EUR 40 each for places two to six. Salzburg opens earliest, at 17:00, with EUR 500 in play and a three-tier flip: EUR 200, EUR 100, then EUR 50 each for places three to six. Velden has the smallest pool at EUR 400 and the only five-seat flip, qualifying three high hands and two bad beats, paying EUR 200 and then EUR 50 each.
So the same promotion is worth two and a half times as much at Bregenz as at Velden, and a player who only reads the nationwide EUR 5,000 headline will not see that. The qualification mechanism is also not identical: most houses seat six in the flip from three winning and three losing hands, Velden seats five. Each casino publishes its own terms of participation, which are the binding document rather than the summary on the overview page.
For anyone planning the night, the practical points are the start time and the flip time, because the flip is where the money is decided and it is held at the close of the promotion window — 01:00 in Linz, Salzburg and Velden, 02:00 in Bregenz.
